Title: Plans for a 3 CP Cocktail kit?
Post by: Charlie97L on September 26, 2013, 10:13:01 am

Well, I've finally given up on Arcade Depot opening back up or responding to my requests for their plans if they weren't coming back.

So I'm going to embark on a custom build.  Does anyone know of any existent cocktail cabinet plans with 3 control panels like the one seen in this article?

Thanks!

I know NorthCoast has a cab just like that.

I'd shoot them an eMail and see if plans are available.

That's nothing more than a Midway (Pac-Man) cocktail with a 3rd side tacked on.  You can find the 2 sided plans here:

Haruman's right. I've designed one too, and would recommend modifying the Midway plans to accommodate a larger monitor, as the existing sides don't work with a side-by-side 2P configuration very well.
