Title: Tekken cabinet. Wanted: Side profile.
Post by: Bones on June 02, 2005, 08:04:02 am

I am finalising my four player cabinet design when the Tekken shape cabinet got me very interested.

Does anyone have a pic, or know of a link that might show the side profile a little better? I am curious what is happenning in the area I have marked. It almost appears to go to a point.

I am thinking this is what it looks like from the side. (Excuse my scale. It was a quickie...)

Noby can confirm the side profile of the Tekken cabinet?

Thanks,
Bones

Honestly, I've never seen a tekken cabinet like those.  In my arcade locally, their tekkens are always conversions.  Sorry man.  Wish I could help more.

Those parts on the side of the screen (speaker housings?) look like bolt on parts to me so my guess is that the cabinet just follows the profile of those with the rearmost edge of that side piece being the top of the back of the cab, like so:

As I said, that's just a guess.

Thanks for the input guys.

Radiant, I think you might be right in your guess...... The only thing that worries me is if the cab sides do meet at a point I can't see there being enough monitor space.
