Hi !
I start making plans of the Donkey Kong cabinet.
Does someone can help me and give me some measurement of the original cab ?
First i would like to check measurements N°26, 29, 30 and 34 (on the side)
My plans are in millimeter (because i'm french ;D) but you can give me in inch.

Thank for help !

This is great!
I think one of the most frustrating things for me when I was looking at building one was how the Jackobud plans where drawn. I'm a huge fan of taking a PDF file into Staples and having them print me a 1-1 line drawing of the side panels. Something I can use as a template that I can place on the wood to use to cut out.
I'll make you a deal, you provide that for people, and I'll give you every measurement you want, in metric too.
(i'll even go out and buy a brand new measuring tape ;))

Oh, there are some internal things you're missing on your plans as well.
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8637/16472185199_740d685223_c.jpg)

Thank you ChanceKJ for this deal ! :applaud:
All my files (plans DWG, DXF, PDF, photos about the cab) can be download at this adress :
http://www.arcadecab.fr/ (http://www.arcadecab.fr/)
There is a word file call "Diverses dimensions.docx" with measurement i found on the web.
Yes i know about internal things.
I thing we must start with the side and external things.
I can update my plans with your measurement and put it on my website.
And why not make a 3D model in the end.
Sorry if my english is bad. :embarassed:
I try to do my best. ;D
-
No worries,
Yeah, the crappiest thing in the world when building these are the exact dimensions of the side panel curves. If you can make your file something people can just print out and cut with that would be AWESOME.
I took some pictures so you could make some decisions on what measurements you wanted. She's a little beaten up, but these should work. Also took some shots of the inside for when you're ready for those. You're mystery height on the inside as well. The pictures look a little crooked, but i used a level and a square to make sure the measurements were as close as possible. All measurements were taken without the edge of the t-Moulding (like the height), so its wood edge to wood edge.

Here's your mystery internal one. There is no piece of wood here. These cabs used a cardboard bezel that came off of the top surface. This picture just shows what i'm measuring on the inside:

Thank !
Actually it's 7:43 in France.
I'm going to my job.
But i will compare your measurements with my plans this evening.
Gaetan
-
Jakobud has links to a lot of cabs, including the DK one, here. (http://jakobud.com/plan-list.php) I'd be interested in knowing how close they are.
-
I have the monitor bezel art if you want it. Just pay the damn shipping.
-

Yes i know Jakobud website. I started my plans with that. It's a good base.
All these files are on my website too.
But they are not 100% accurate and not complete.
I think with help from ChanceKJ we can do best plans. :)
-
Ok ChanceKJ !
I think I undestand what you want : A PDF file scale 1:1 ready to print to draw directly on the wood.
Of course it's possible !
Your empty cab is perfect to take measurements !
I keep your pictures preciously.
It's measurements without T-molding and it's perfect.
So :
N°26 = 850 mm
N°29 = 64 mm
N°30 = 1632 mm
N°34 = 180 mm (about)
Now i know exactly overall dimensions of the side panel.
Do you think you can send me a picture with good resolution and taken profile of the cab (at half height) ? If necessary I can correct perspective of your picture (with photoshop) and supperpose with my plan. That will give me idea of real curves.
Now i'm interested for the measurement n° 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 20 and 21.
Ho juste a detail. You gave me measurement n°29 = 64 mm but i think there is little "feet" under the base. It's 64 mm from the floor. Therfore i need measurement n°11 from the floor too (or the difference between n°29 and n°11).
I hope you will anderstand (i think so). ^^
I think we can do a good job. :)
Thank you again for your help.

Hey!
I haven't forgotten about this. Sorry I've been swamped the last couple days and have barely been down to Sven see my cabs :-\ I'm gonna set aside some time tonight/tomorrow to get to these new measurements.
Haha, "Life", Am I right? :laugh:
-
Hi,
No problem, I can wait.
The main thing is that you don't forget me. ;D
You can give me the measurements when you have the time.
Have a good day ! :cheers:
-
Yeah, sorry, the floor is uneven, and the base on this thing is a little beaten up. :D
Just more work for me later when i restore it i guess. :dunno

Green measurements should be ok.
Red measurements must be checked...
Much work for ChanceKJ... :-[
Do you think you can check it ?
Gaëtan
-
everything on there looks pretty solid with the exception of two things. The first is #13, you have it at 20mm, it should be 13mm. The second is the way the back panel cuts into the sidewalls but i mean, its more of a complicated thing to build. I'd say just leave this out of the design as it requires quite a bit more woodworking skill/tools/time.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7604/16196375783_8a4da69d3f_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/qFdEfk)
Other then that it's pretty much the front speaker grill location and a couple internal structures for the coin box, PCB tray, and monitor shelf
-
Ok ! ;)
#13 = 13 mm (ok)
My details 1 and 2 are good ?
Just to not to make mistakes can you give me this measurements (#54 to #73) ?
Marquee zone :
(2 wood pieces at #60 and #61 ?)
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150315183700-Gaetan-Donkey-Kong-Cab-Gaetan-Zone-Marquee.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150315183700-Gaetan-Donkey-Kong-Cab-Gaetan-Zone-Marquee.jpg)
Hole for coin door and speaker grill :

I thing that after we can continue with internal things.
Do you have the control panel too ?
Gaëtan
-
i only have metal control panels. I have 3 Vs panels and a DK3 CP coming in the mail over the next day or two.
Here's a look at the structure that makes up the inside of the Marquee area.

Oups you just forgot #57, #58 and #59. :-[
And the coin door hole (#65 is important because it's the widht of the cab) :-[
Thank ! :notworthy:
What will you do with this cab ? A Donkey Kong ?

I gotta say Im glad you guys are taking the time to do this. We really need a collection of cabinet plans with measurements for people to reference.

Thanks,
I only wish my cab wasn't so beaten up. :-\ Things could be more accurate
-

You are so right.
Think of it this way:
Someone emailed jakobud exhibit A. Chance is comparing exhibit A to his exhibit B. We need someone to compare their personal exhibit C to A and B, so that we can derive Exhibit D. etc, ad naseum until we reach a point when any Donkey Kong owner can compare their personal exhibit and declare "Shazzle!" "How did they get that close?"

I'm not sure what you are driving at? I'm trying to draw an analogy. It's like GPS. The more comparative samples; the more accurate comparisons you can make, to which will yield a more accurate output!

Did you mean that two original cabinets can have significant differences ?
It's not easy (impossible ?) to have a 100% accurate plan. And it depends on your tolerance.
And i haven't the original cab at home, it's more difficult... lol
But ChanceJK measurements and pictures help me a lot. :)
-
Are you drunk? ???
I think missioncontrol got a hold of his account. ;D

I continue with internal things.

I have no idea of the internal measurements. I drew from pictures.
And don't foget : ^^

Hi ChanceKJ,
I still have to finalize my plans with quotations and pdf file at 1/1 scale. ;)
Do you think you will have the time for last measurements ?
It's not urgent.
If you want internal things I still need measurements.
It's like you want. You already have helped me a lot. :applaud:
Gaetan
-
Yeah sure!
Just so we're clear what are the exact numbers for the plans that you still need. If you can list them all in a column with the most important at the top, I'll address each one by one as soon as I can.
-
Wouldn't it be easier to draw a grid on that and scan it ?

Definitely the best method for curves of the side.
But it take more times.
If I had a cab mayby i'll try...
I contacted the guy but he didn't keep his files... :(

Ok the most important at the top :
Last external measurements :
#65 (width cab)
#63 (coin door)
#66 (coin door)
#67 (coin door)
#57 (marquee zone)
#58 (marquee zone)
#59 (marquee zone)
and mayby #28 (down of the side but difficult with cuves) (i have a little difference with your picture)
After it's internal measurements (for me it's optional) :
#74 to #102
A lot of measurements and some are diffcult.
But you came give me the addition, for example (#74+#75+#76) it's easier to measure than #75 and #76 separately.

Well kinda, Problem is when you scan something there is a small margin of error, multiplied by multiple scans....Photoshop can zoom in on them making them easier to assemble, and you can add some pixels to overcome the error.

I just thought I would say cheers to Chance for taking the time to do all these measurements and Gaetan for publishing it all back to the community. This is what makes this community great, as we sometimes get caught up in critiques and spats. I am awaiting the finished plans, as I would love to build a nintendo style cab.
BTW, I'm super jelly of your cab Chance, regardless of its condition ;)

Also, a couple of inaccuracies from your drawings in regards to the "rear monitor table", and the back edge:

And the relation of the coin box shelf/PCB shelf to the front opening of the coin door.

Also, i can't seem to find the picture of it, but another thread has a picture with the dimensions of the top of the coin box enclosure showing the holes for the coins to fall through from the mechs to the con box. Mine's been ripped off. Here's a picture with my coin box inside its enclosure...

Wow !!! :dizzy:
What can i say ???
Heu... I have work ! ;D
Stay tuned... ;)
-
I just thought I would say cheers to Chance for taking the time to do all these measurements and Gaetan for publishing it all back to the community. This is what makes this community great, as we sometimes get caught up in critiques and spats. I am awaiting the finished plans, as I would love to build a nintendo style cab.
BTW, I'm super jelly of your cab Chance, regardless of its condition ;)
:cheers: :applaud:

Great ! :applaud:
This is interesting.
I will follow this topic.
And I think I will update my plans and my website this evening.
Our plans seem to be more accurate than Jakobud's plans, but not perfect.
It is always possible to improve it.

Here are the last plans :
Side :

Good night every one ! ;)

We still need to add the top of the coin box. I'm trying to remember what thread I saw that it, but someone took a picture an used MSPaint to write it's dimensions on the image. Other then that I wouldnt mind someone else spot checking our work a little. I plan to print out the side panel template and compare some time later this or next week.
...wicked.
-
Hi ChanceKJ,
I'm not sure to anderstand what you say about the "top of the coin box".
Sorry it's certainly my English. ^^ :-[
Yes, of course help from someone else is welcome.
If someone detects an error, i can correct.
It must be interesting to print the 1:1 scale plan and compare on your cab. :applaud:
Yesterday when I repport your last measurements I had 2 doubts on 2 zones.
I will explain it with diagrams when I will be at home. ;)
-
We still need to add the top of the coin box.
Hope this helps guys..

Perfect ! :)
Now i understand what is the top of the coin box. ^^
I will add it.
Thank !

Thanks Buick!
Mine was ripped off when I bought my cab, so I need to rebuild it. This will be perfect.

Re ChanceKJ,
The two areas to be checked :
First (Marquee again) :
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150324214116-Gaetan-Marquee-Zone.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150324214116-Gaetan-Marquee-Zone.jpg)
Is it real like this ?
Second (Panel) :
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150324214346-Gaetan-Panel-Zone.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150324214346-Gaetan-Panel-Zone.jpg)
You gave me 83 mm but I have 73 mm...
Maybe you can find where the problem is.
Check details 1 and 2.
Gaëtan
-
Ok, for the first two i get: 7mm and 19mm.
for the second image (from left to right) i get:
-83mm,
-29/30mm
-174mm
-
Sorry if I ask you again...
But i can't reconcile the measurements...
First :
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150325210358-Gaetan-Marquee.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150325210358-Gaetan-Marquee.jpg)
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150325210213-Gaetan-028-2-.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150325210213-Gaetan-028-2-.jpg)
Are you sure for the 19 mm ? It doesn't look like the picture and it's not parallel. ???
Second :
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150325210249-Gaetan-Panel.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150325210249-Gaetan-Panel.jpg)
I think 850 mm is good but if I add up the other I have 10 mm more.
Maybe a problem with 130 mm, 145 mm or 245 mm (this doesn't seem easy to measure for you).
:dunno
-
The 19mm on the top is actually 12mm.
I'll grab the rest durring the second intermission in the Flames/Dallas game ;D. Stand by.
-
Ok, in the second picture it's 145mm between the two monitor shelves. Is that your missing 10mm?
I just checked my previous post as well, #86: 14.5cm
-
Yes I know you gave me 145 mm... It's precisely m'y problem because the width of side panel is 850 mm.
I will check all measurements again. ;)
Ok for the 12 mm ! :)
Thank
-
Ho I just see your lastest pictures of measurements...
I'm checking.
-
So, I check pictures and measurements.
(http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics_gamoovernet690px/20150326212246-Gaetan-Panel-2.jpg) (http://gamoovernet.pixhotel.fr/pics/20150326212246-Gaetan-Panel-2.jpg)
You gave me :
A = 20 mm
B = 130 mm
C = 145 mm
D = 245 mm
E = 83 mm
F = 29 mm
G = 173 mm
H = 14 mm
I = 15 mm
A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I = 854 mm
and J = 850 mm (not so far finally... just 4 mm)
I will take these measurement for my plan :
A = 20 mm
B = 128 mm (-2 mm)
C = 145 mm
D = 243 mm (-2 mm)
E = 83 mm
F = 29 mm
G = 173 mm
H = 14 mm
I = 15 mm
A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H+I = 850 mm ! :applaud:
It's looks good for you ?
Gaëtan
-
Yeah that's cool. I figure with those two monitor shelves it really doesn't matter if they are a couple mm off either way. Haha. They are a ---smurfette--- to measure.
:applaud:
-
I agree. :cheers:
-
Hi guys,
I just wanted to chime in and say thank you for doing this. I have been considering building a Nintendo cab from scratch and this will be amazing when finished. It will be a great resource for a long time to come.
:cheers:

Hi ChanceKJ,
Can you explain to me with pictures how is placed the marquee (plexiglas ?) and his bottom bracket on your cab ?
-
Sure!
Here's the lower bezel bracket. It sits in the wood grove. Its basically a "U" of metal.
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7282/16951416875_a626e12d1f_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/rPWrEc)
Here's the lower bezel/marquee bracket. its spacing come off the display glass, then gets screwed in from below.
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8724/16951415315_626ea889e6_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/rPWrci)
That should give it proper spacing for the marquee glass on the other side...
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7625/16331326683_e5372e432b_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/qT9jrZ)
Here's the top bracket, It screws in from the top with 4 screws last.
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8748/16744047397_9df514cedb_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/rvBBWn)
Does that help?
-
Yeah. Thank you.
Good quality pictures as usual. ;)

If I understand, the position of the wood piece A is not important because the marquee glass is not placed on it ?
And the marquee glass is not exactly parallel with the side ?
And maybe all cabs are not the same.
Watch this one :

Mine is just a dado, no metal (it might be missing tho I guess). Is it screwed in somehow? Can you post pics of it out of the wood? I also had another piece of wood that went from lower bezel retainer board -to- monitor shelf. Pic Attached
And maybe all cabs are not the same.
I have come to the same conclusion, mine is different in some areas from Chances (piece of wood mentioned above). My marquee light box area looks nothing like that super basketball you posted.. that looks like a "5 o'clock on a Friday" cabinet because most the pics I have seen the marquee matches the angle of the side..
If you can draw up the side panels (curves and all) and then Chance can print them (full size) and it match his cab, your a winner in my book..
-

We'll see. ;D
Side panel curves is the most difficult.
I don't know yet the pricision of my plan on this point.
You drew 3D plans too ?
If yes, i'm interested.
Hey ChaneKJ, it's your cab : :)

Somebody needs to get these plans to HaRuMan so he can reproduce these cabs.

I've got a feeling he's already on that ;D

Hi ChanceKJ, :)
What do you think about the placement of the marquee glass on my plan ?

Yeah, you're missing this:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7589/16996248825_d6523f6f3d_c.jpg)
I'm 99% sure the little tang edge of it faces into the cab, but could be wrong. It's not screwed in or anything, just sits inside the dado.
I've never seen that other bit of wood on the lower shelf from your drawing. Like ever. If anyone can head some light on that i'd be interested. I do know that some cabs that were converted into any of the cabs that had the large FCC cage may have the wood PCB "rails" removed, but thats because the conversion instructions from nintendo ask you to do it.
As soon as we're certain these plans are accurate i'm going to test them by taking the side panel to staples printing off a copy and seeing if we need to make any adjustments. Don't you worry.

Yeah, thats about right. the plexi for the marquee is 568mm x 148.5mm x 2mm (plus the thickness of the artwork)
In case anyone is curious the dimensions for the bezel plexi is: 568mm Wide x 512.5mm High x 4mm Thick (including artwork, it's screen printed on to the plexi)
Oh and check out these shots from behind the marquee. Propped up the iPhone and used the timer to get these. /DropsMic

The board itself was removed from my cab for my conversion, I saved it all though.. I will dig it out of the parts box and take some pics for ya. If I remember correctly it is just furniture stapled to the lower bezel retainer and glued to the lower monitor shelf. My cab was originally Popeye, I will find the tag and get a date..

That pic makes it look awful roomy in the light box, now it makes sense why there was so much rat ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- up there when I gutted mine..
I took a pic of mine also for reference. Chance is right they aren't parallel, but neither Chances or mine is as exaggerated as that super basketball..
-
Thank to iPhone ! :applaud:
Marquee area looks good on my plan.
Chance you said 512.5 mm high for the bezel plexi.
Maybe a little error on my plan ?

3'' + 15.25'' + 2.5'' = 20.75'' --> x 25.4 = 527 mm
I think that marquee plexi is less high than the wood. We can see that on Buick455 picture.
But we should check the 524 mm on my plan to be sure.
The last plans are on my website.

Gaetan, those numbers in my pic are for the area covered by artwork (rough guesses).. I wouldn't use them for anything your trying to do..
My bezel glass is 32 1/4" wide X 30 1/2" tall
-
My plexi measurements came off an original DK3 front glass and Nintendo Vs. Marquee.
-
Gaetan, those numbers in my pic are for the area covered by artwork (rough guesses).. I wouldn't use them for anything your trying to do..
My bezel glass is 32 1/4" wide X 30 1/2" tall
Don't worry, i haven't changed my plan yet.
I'm just looking for to check the 524 mm. :)
32.25'' x 30.5'' = 819 mm x 775 mm
How is it possible ? ??? ;D
Finaly for me the important thing is not the plexi measurement but the vertical measurement wood to wood (524 mm ?).
-
The plexi is actualy shorter then the area it lives in. If you open the back panel, there's a bar along the top of the inside that comps down on the bezel plexi. If you release it you can slide the bezel plexi up out of that metal bottom bracket.

Nope, just a normal one :laugh2:
Again so sry about that, what a dipshit I am sometimes :banghead:
I believe your 524mm should be 20 1/2".
I would go with whatever chance tells you, but mine is 20 1/2" triple checked
-
Possible.
I understood that there was an error. ;)
Thank for information.
ChanceKJ plexi high : 512.5 mm (very accurate)
Buick455 plexi high : 20.5'' = 521 mm
I have 524 mm wood to wood on my plan but it's a vertical measurement and plexi is inclined a bit.
-
I'm not 100% sure what the angle of the bezel plexi is, but it's not perfectly vertical.
-

I don't know either the angle and brackets measurements.
But I think if some one want to build a nintendo cabinet he can buy the brackets :

I have a question about the T-Molding Nintendo from T-Molding.com :
http://www.t-molding.com/9-16in-flat-white-t-molding.html (http://www.t-molding.com/9-16in-flat-white-t-molding.html)
It is written 9/16''.
If I converted in mm i have : 14.3 mm
In France i can't find (for the moment) wood of 14 mm thick.
Can I use wood of 15 mm thick ?
Width of T-Molding Nintendo in mm is really 14.3 mm ? ???
-
I still think that marquee section is off..
This is what mine looks like..
I dont have this gap I think I see in Chances..
-
Effectively.
And I have a little difference with this measurement (152 mm and 10 mm) :

Another difference between your cab and ChanceKJ cab ?
-
I don't think any two are identical, but the way they did Chances makes me think it was a mistake.. I think those small batons are there to prevent lamp/light bleed. I would think they need to be against the marquee.
If you use numbers from another cabinet (i.e. mine) its going to through off your entire plan.. I only held the rule there to show the three angles are flush.
-
Yeah I think I must use only ChanceKJ measurements for my plan.
Because I started with his measurements. ^^
But it's interesting to know that there are differences.
I agree it makes more sense to have this small batons against the marquee.
You drew a plan of your cab on sketchup ?

Once you have the side plan finished and Chance prints them and they match, then you can tweak things I think :)

I started to but never finished it.. My cabinet is being reclaimed as a FIFJr / MAME cab. My intention was to document the cab before it was gutted and modified. Sorta for posterity.. Most of the things I removed are saved and I have the measurements to put them back in 20 years if I feel like it..
My measures are all in SAE not Metric, using Fractional Plywoods. So as I was going I was using the closest fractional match. This is one of the reasons the sides and outer dimensions are so critical, a "scratch build" next to an "original" should look identical at 10ft.. If they dont you cant have a badass row like this ;D

I am genuinely excited to see how close you get the sides. I think its going to be the hardest part, I never even started the sides on my drawings.
I stopped drafting up the cab when I tried to find 9/16 ply and it wasnt to be found.. I assumed I would go back and convert all the imposable to find, fractional ply to lumber that is available here in the states, just havent got to it yet...

Hi,
For the moment I have no reason to change my plans.
Chance if you want (and have the time) I think you can print the 1.1 PDF file. :)

Thanks for putting this documentation together guys. I've got a beat-up Nintendo cabinet I'm trying to copy and this information has been real helpful. :cheers:

Are there different side profile variations? I'm copying a particle board DK JR that is in pretty bad shape. I have a template that matches the existing radius almost exactly for the rear corners. The plans below show a 25MM radius but my pattern looks more like a 45mm radius.
The front corners of my cabinet are so far gone I don't have a reference point to go by.
Here are the last plans :

Hi WP34,
I don't know if there are different side profile variation.
But an error on curves on my side plan is possible.
I drew 25 mm because it's the difference between the bottom of the side and bottom of the cab (if you prefer the top of the base).
You can see that on my plan "Coupe".
What is this measurement on your cab ? 45 mm too ?
And what is measurement of your base ? On ChanceKJ picture I have 85 mm.

The rear corners were 45mm. The front corners are so mangled I don't have a reference.

I really should print off that 1:1 plan and compare it soon.
Hmmm.

What I try to explain (with my perfect english ;D) is that :

If I draw a 45 mm round corner I have a problem with other measurements.
So I'm interested to know what is this measurements on your cab (60 mm and 25mm) ?

Yes if you have the time it would be great (or not ;D).

Sorry my cabinet has been buried. Does this picture help?
-
ChanceKJ Have you had a chance to print it and compare? I am loving the intercontinental cooperation. As an Australian I want to make this French copy of a Canadian owned Japanese Arcade Machine. That's right isn't it? ???
-
:applaud: hahaha. I'm planning on it. Haven't gotten around to printing one but I'm told by people who've already used the plans that they're spot on.

I am always interested.
If we can improve plans. :)

Hi,
Is there a plan of the rear door? I can't find the measurement for where to cut the ventilation hole.
Thanks,

Great thread. Can't seem to find the 1:1 plans though. Help?.
