Title: x arcade cabinet
Post by: Iceman81 on January 04, 2015, 10:30:00 pm

looking make a cabinet with a tank stick controller, don't wanna drop 399 on the cabinet pretty sure i can build it myself.  Anyone have a link to plans that would be similar?  I like that there are sites that sell graphics that are already sized for this particular cab.  Can't seem to find a pdf with anything close.

Do you want a controller? Or a full cabinet?  Consider a pedestal otherwise building something similar to a tank stick is easy:

1: Build a box
2: Cut a hole in a box
3: Put your controls in that box
4: Connect that box to a PC

Do you have a tank stick already?  Otherwise search UCA 2013, UCA 2012, UCA 2011,  check out the following thread suggested by yamatetsu http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,142020.0.html (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,142020.0.html)

Check the wiki here to: http://newwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Examples (http://newwiki.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?title=Examples)

Failing all of this search the forum for plans, jakobud.com or the following in google site:forum.arcadecontrols.com plans

Yeah, I've done it. I built a custom cabinet for a dual tankstick.

I mainly used the designs found at: http://www.arcadecab.com (http://www.arcadecab.com)

I modified my plans a bit. I'm happy to share if you'd like.
