Title: Create control panel for Atari cocktail cabinet
Post by: YoMama1 on June 08, 2010, 11:51:49 am

I recently purchased an Atari cocktail cabinet for 20 bucks.

This cabinet is totally empty where the control panel area is supposed to be.  The length for the panel is 14 inches.  I know pretty much nothing about woodworking, but I can't even imagine how something would attach to this thing.  It looks like there are holes for bolts, but can't easily envision where the bolts would attach to the control panel portion.

Can someone advise what I could build for this, or point me to any plans for this cabinet?  I think my problem is visual, I just can't see what it would look like attached.  Tried google and site search, but nothing popped out at me.

Thanks

Here is a link to pics of many cocktails.   You can probably find a picture that is close to the one you have.

If you know what game was in your atari cab you can look it up and see if they have a picture at KLOV (http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_list.php?letter=A&type=Videogame)

Here is one that looks close from what I can see of you table.
