I'm looking for some pedestal plans to accommodate the x arcade dual joystick. I tried googling it but I'm coming up empty. I want to recess the dual joystick in the pedestal then I'm going to mount a flat screen on the wall. Any plans would be great!

Not exactly plans, but hopefully will get you started.

Hi. Have either of you got plans for this? I'm also interested in this. Thanks and please let me know!

Drill a hole in the middle of this and run a carriage bolt through your X-Arcade:

I don't know. The build quality of that stool might be a little overkill for an X-arcade.

Meh, I own one and it's not too shabby. Haters gonna hate.

I recently started building this xtension pedestal but i will make the entire cabinet with the top part.
What i did i search & found measurements on Ebay

Personally, I think the x-arcade needs to be "de-boxed", retaining the CP part and mounting that on the cabinet. That's what I did using a variation of these plans:

I revised the plans to make the cab even slimmer. I suppose if you intend to remove the x-arcade later then a typical extension type cab would work, but to me it looks wonky. By removing the box part you achieve a more integrated look. If you go the extra mile to cover the cp with new art, it looks even better. :)

That looks great. What plans did you ultimately go with?
-
They have a video how they assemble the cabinet which materials they use etc.
I found the measurements of the cabinet on ebay , & from there i just attempt to make it the same as a Arcadextension 27 inch cabinet
Because i wanted to buy one but they dont send overseas itll cost much with the weight.
glad i made it myself so i can adjust it to my height i made it 184 cm long
never thought i made a arcade cabinet, now im just starting to laminate it
-
getting close to finish
-
Do you still have the measurement/plans you used? They don't sell these on eBay anymore.
-
Ok im planning to put in a Bang & Olufsen instead of the Ben Q LCD i put in ,
luckily the TV just fits right in height , 3 parts of the Top part are not needed only need to adjust 1 part in height
and probably just spray paint the bezel plexiglas to cover the space around the tv.
-
Did a little job on the bezel, i am planning to cut out some laminate to cover the sides behind the plexi
-
used some laminate cut to cover the sides of the tv
-
final result with the plexiglass in front of the laminate
-
another look from the side , so the space around the tv is well covered, im basically done with it.
only behind the top part i need to fit a piece of wood to replace the large part that was there before i used it to cover it with the LCD in it.
will post some stuff again when i place it over at my place
