Title: Does a Defender cabinet angle at the coin door?
Post by: eggedd2k on September 03, 2005, 04:53:34 pm

can anyone verify this - on a defender cab at the bit under the coin door, the cabinet sides angle but does the front of the cabinet?

couldn't see on these photos: http://www.arcadetraders.com/defender.htm

I don't know the answer to your question, but that cab looks damn nice.

If you mean under the front edge, then no. The power switch is under there.

Interesting to see that photo's angle. I made mine blind so I made that panel match the angle of the sides. I see here that I coulda skipped some beveling and put it in at 90 degrees.

Cool place for the power switch. I think I'll move mine there.

I have a few generic photos, and lots of close ups of the work I've been doing. Are there any angles or shots you are looking for in particular?

if you've got time mate i'd like to see any/all of the photos you've got - in addition if you've got a few close-ups of the control panel where it angles up against the bezel.

my e-mail address is chrisnrach17@aol.com


thanks again
