Does anyone know where I could get dimensions for a real 6 button arcade cabinet? I want to make a controller, and I want to make sure the spacing between the buttons and joystick is as close to a real arcade machine as possible.

Street Fighter 2 (I'm assuming that's what you mean) Used a generic dynamo cabinet that is used for literally thousands of games. But with that being said the old street fighter 2 cabs were rahter cramped as they were 6 button per player and all games previously used a maximum of 3 buttons per player. Around the time that super street fighter came out they used a modified version of this cabinet that was normally used for games like ikari warriors. It had a modular control panel, instead of the built in metal ones that were used prior. It gave for just a tad more elbow room. That is the cabinet you really want.
Anyway... dimensions for these cabinets aren't commonly documented, simply because so many games use them that you can just go and measure. So my suggestion to you is to go to a local arcade and bring a measuring tape. I almost guarantee you that a dynamo is lying around somewhere. :)

does that school of yours have a dictionary? It's a book used to look up the meanings/definitions to words you don't know.
