wanted: interior pictures of arcade cabinets with a PCB shelf

I'm looking for interior pictures of cabinets that have a PCB shelf.

I need to rig up some sort of interior shelf for my MAME cabinet and I want to see how factory cabinets did it.

So far, the only one I've been able to find is Gauntlet Legends and the pictures aren't that great...

Removing the PCB tray...


Replaced with an ATX case....

Don't want to sound blatant, but it's a shelf. All you need is a board with enough space to screw your PCB/MAME rig to, either on proper roller runners or just on a shelf between two wooden runners so it can slide out, if you really need that.

Yes, I know it's a shelf.  But some cabinets have have them at different heights, some have backs on them, some have wire holes or air vents, some are on roll-out sliders (like you mention), etc...   I'm just looking for ideas before I just go and screw in a piece of plywood..   Honestly, it never occurred to me to put a shelf in my cabinet until I stumbled across the Gauntlet Legends pics so I'd like to see what the possibilities are.

Well if it helps, I'm just going to put a computer case with the panels removed on a piece of wood that spans the width of my cabinet. I'm not sure how I'm going to secure it down just yet - may just screw the case directly to the bottom of the shelf.

javeryh has some internal shots of his Donkey Kong restoration. You can see the shelf near the back of the machine. Just as Turnarcades had said, it's just a shelf.
