Mario cab plans question

[OverRide]

I plan to build a mario bros cab from scratch. I see that there are some plans at www.Jakobud.com.
What is the difference between the normal cab and the wide body? And I have read in a few older posts that the wide body plans are incorrect. Does anyone have updated corrected plans?
What size monitor did the original game use?
Last question. How much would an empty cab go for...ball park.
Thanks!

What is the difference between the normal cab and the wide body?  Normal cab was a conversion. Dedicated cab - width of cabinet and of course artwork is larger.
Few older posts that the wide body plans are incorrect. Does anyone have updated corrected plans? Those plans are more of reference point than anything. No I haven't seen any others. Doesn't mean they don;t exist tho
What size monitor did the original game use? 19" Sanyo EZ
Last question. How much would an empty cab go for...ball park. Better way to word this is, "How much SHOULD an Empty cab go fr" ~$50-$75

If you can find an empty Nintendo cabinet, all the power to ya.  But wouldn't pay more than $75 for an empty shell. At that point, you're just paying for the wood and the convenience of not having to do the cutting and planning yourself. If it comes with salvageable parts (decent restore-able monitor, working controls) then around $100-$150 would be great.
I picked up my original Donkey Kong Jr. last year for $150, which was a great deal and in awesome condition. I got lucky with that one.

I got my Widebody cab for $160 and had to drive 2 hours to pick it up!  Still a great deal though since it had its original monitor in it still.  I had to replace all of the artwork and find lots of replacement parts.  The toughest part of restoring a widebody is that its really hard to get just the right things for it.  The standard Nintendo cab is much easier to work with, plus if you wanted to make it into some other Nintendo game then its relatively easy to convert it over.

Also, its important to know that the control panel artwork is much different for a widebody Mario Bros than it is for the conversion.

In my experience in Upstate New York I couldn't find even an empty standard nintendo cab for less than $100.  I got really lucky with my widebody.  The guy didn't know what he had.

Where are you in upstate NY? I had the chance to get a DK cab that was on Ebay. I didn't bid much on it because I thought a guy from work was bidding on it and I didn't want to screw him over. It ended up going for like $46 and he had only bid $42. I was a bit upset with him after that.
