Thanks for this, although I think looking at this, this is the US style of cabinet, any chance there is anyone with the UK style, sorry to be fussy

YOu mean the cabaret or mini ?? (think that is the only model that made it to the UK. )

If so the same site linked above has the mini listed also - https://www.classicarcadecabinets.com/robotron-mini.html (https://www.classicarcadecabinets.com/robotron-mini.html)

Another source that is a good read is this article : https://neilsarcadediary.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/robotron-cabaret-scratch-build-part-1/ (https://neilsarcadediary.wordpress.com/2017/04/11/robotron-cabaret-scratch-build-part-1/)

He discusses building a CAbaret cab and in part 2 (link is included in part 1) he goes into some detail on his building the plans etc. so ( Includes some good sketches that he got someone else to provide measurements from ! ) Definitely a good documentation of building one that should provide most of the details you need !

EDIT : He has links to parts 2 and 3 just after the previous parts but links to part 4 and 5 are missing so found them on his main site - Included below for you.
