I can acquire a golden tee dynamo showcase cabinet. I would use it to build myself my custom arcade cabinet, and when the one I am building now is finished, I would sell it. So I ask whats a good price for that cab. The monitor and speakers should be working and the cab is in pretty good condition. Thanks!
For those wondering, here is what the cabinet basically is except the game is Golden Tee. I believe the monitor is 33 or 34 inches.

Hmmm. Looks like you could stand to make $30 at least by drawing up some plans hulkster! ;)
-
i would jump into....i just need basic sizes...
-
hmmm....interesting. well i dont know about charging anything for my plans...i dont know, i just dont feel right making someone pay money for telling them what my measurements are! anyway, i dont have any plans right now, but it seems several people want to know, so when i go home today ill start making some measurements. i guess its time i create a web site. alright, ill try to get some measurements in. ill post here first, and ill also create another post for anyone else who wants them. ill be in touch. 8)

hulkamania is always running wild my friend....regardless of plans....the hulkster *sniff*...will always....*sniff*....run wild.

Hulkster you make the plans and I will host them for free on my website, http://www.ddreastcoast.com. I am planning on putting my project on the site, so if I decide to make the showcase and sell the one I am building now, hosting your information and pictures would be perfect for it!

cool....i was going to post the dimensions last night, but a virus came to visit both my hard drives on my pc last night (yay) so im having to format and do all kinds of wonderful things so i didnt get to post them. (oh...yes i have a virus scan, yes its updated, yes i have windows update...i was putting a different OS on...well...long story, dont worry about it ::)) k, so i might be out tonight buying a dryer with my wife so i dont know if ill have time to fix my pc. ANYWAY, friday ill have time and it will definitely be ready to go by then, so im hoping i can measure and do that, and start making a temporary web site to host my plans on. i have 10mb of space with bellsouth so thats good. anyway, ill keep everyone posted.
-
keep me posted man...i plan to start next week..so exciting!!!!
-
alright, finally got rid of the virus and got all my files and OS back on. but it was real late last night so i didnt have time to measure my cab. tonight i will though, so i will try to get something posted tonight.

Speaking of this,how is both pieces connected together ?
You know..the monitor piece and the control stand.
-
they arent. when i built it, i i had all the intentions of keeping them connected in the beginning, but ended up making the cp pedestal part too tall, so i had to trim off a section on the bottom...which was the connector part. well i had the option of building a carriage bolted connector, but ended up not doing that for fear of it looking all ugly with carriage bolts sticking out. so its not connected at all! i built a little bridge type thing that is flush with the monitor pedestal and the cp pedestal and it just sits on the ground covering the wires. yeah its not the best setup, but it works. plus i can move the cp if i have to. in my plans i will recommend not doing the way i did it.
-
yeah...i want the effect that it's connect but i rather not.. gonna serve as a tv also somtimes...in my computer room and thats the only tv...
when it looks connect..that is where the wires will run

*update*
i started creating my website tonight and made quite a bit of progress. i am about halfway through the construction portion of the site and i will probably be finished by tomorrow afternoon. i still havent measured for plans yet, but i will do that soon as well. stay posted.
