Title: Slikstik (or very similar) cabinet plans needed
Post by: Bob Sakamanno on July 03, 2012, 09:45:42 am

Dear friends,

i'm a reader here at BYOAC Forum for some years, but just now i have a doubt that some of you might help me.

After years searching, and thinking about an arcade project, i finally decided my way to go.
The Slikstik arcade cabinet is the most classic for me, so i want it!

The problem is, they don't exist anymore (and i live in Brazil, too difficult to get a cabinet from them, even if they still sell it).
So, anyone here could show me where to find this Slikstik cabinet dimensions?
It will REALY help me.

I looked Google, but it was not successful.

The cabinet is this, reviewed by Kevin Steele a couple of years ago.

You're my last hope!   :notworthy:

Thanks in advance!

i don't have cabinet plans, but hey try to see if you can salvage a silver strike bowling arcade or something.  those things i feel like are everywhere, and are REALLY similar to that cabinet, that's why i grabbed one up.

Check out arcade paradise 3.  It is a pretty close match.

Guys,

thank you three, for these links, they'll help me out.
I just need the TV a little more inclined, and everything will work fine.

Thank you again!

Sorry -- I'm coming a little late to the party.  I have an old slikstik CO2 panel that I have been saving for a project.  After looking around I found these guys -- and they confirmed by telephone that their cabinets are built to the specs of my slikstik control panel.   I think you should take a look at their Ultimate Arcade II plans.  They also sell DIY kits for control panels...
