hey guys and gals
i have a Blasteroids cab that i need a cp for. the cabs being Mame'd and i want a template to take to a metal fabricator to bend me a fresh cp. give me a price including shipping to 19401 or if youre semi local i can pick it up. thanks in advance :)
-
due to lack of any response im guessing nobody has one :banghead: but ill bump it anyway. gotta have hope :dunno
-
If you're going to have a fresh one bent up then you may have better luck going over to the main forum and putting out a call for somebody to give you the measurements of theirs including the roll angles or have them trace it and mail you/scan you the traced line. Seems a waste to buy one just for a template when all the bender needs is the 2-d angle diagram.
Or hit up the KLOV forum, just keep it under your hat that you're mameing it out... they don't always take kindly to that ;)
-
thanks for the advice :) ill throw something in General. as for mameing it, im not changing the cab any other than a new monitor new speakers and new controls. cosmetically itll look just like blasteroids 8)

Over on KLOV this guy (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=220049&highlight=blasteroids) has a blasteroids for sale and if you ask he may get you some measurements. The cab should also be in the KLOV sketch-up repository as it keys on search but there are 106 pages of it here (http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=126766&highlight=blasteroids). EDIT - Looks like it's still pending modeling. Sorry
Super double Edit: Found it! http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dcd6d6708ac896441ba06b563ce1a0c5&prevstart=0 (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=dcd6d6708ac896441ba06b563ce1a0c5&prevstart=0)
Now if I only knew what the hell I was doing in sketch-up I'd give you the data... alas I am sketch-up dumb.
-
haha thanks le chuck, thats pretty awesome :applaud: im also sketchup dumb too, remedial even. im not a member at klov but ill try to get on there and ask for the measurements.
-
Somebody is sketchup smart around here... I'm almost sure of it. I know OND is a sketchup god. I'd go beg for a measurement. I know that model is spot on accurate. Looks really cool too. It's weird, I'm all emotionally invested in seeing you get these damn measurements now.
-
thanks le chuck. ill try not to let your emotions go to waste :D

It's too bad i'm SolidWorks smart and not Sketchup smart, i'd help ya out. SolidWorks has wonderful sheet metal tools. That's how I built all my sheet metal parts for my arcade.
-
if you have a Blasteroids cp you could measure id appreciate it in any format. i dont have a metal shop in mind yet so whoever i take it to may work with Solidworks as well. besides that thanks for the offer of help either way :)
