Title: Do we have the dimensions for Robotron or similar Williams cab?
Post by: spystyle on September 26, 2005, 07:18:04 pm

Hello from Maine

I am looking for dimension to Williams 1982 style cab, like Robotron, Joust, or Bubbles.

A pic of the front and side "straight on" could work as I could add 1" squares to it in PaintShop and call it a quick plan.

Thank you,
Craig

Did you try looking at the links under "Cabinets" on this board? ::)

I just took a look and only saw a Robotron cocktail on there.
One thing with the Robotron is that rounded front is wood. Looks like it'd much trickier to recreate than a Defender or other "normal" cab.

There are two Williams cabs there -- Stargate and Defender.

I think Stargate has roughly the same dimensions in the middle, but I'll need the dimensions for the side panels.

Thanks,

Well it isn't beautiful but should be functional. I found a pic of the side of a Joust and put a 1" grid over it based on the dimensions from the flyer (28.5" deep by 70" tall)

That combined with the inner dimensions from the Stargate plan should  make a nice Joust, Robotron, Bubbles style cab.

Dig it?

Here's the pic I used for my cab.  It looks slightly taller than your pic.  Or am I dreaming? ???

Cheers,

Yes, it's taller.

In my pic the plan keeps on going as indicated by the red squares.

70 inches tall, 70 squares.

I figured it didn't matter too much that the bottom of the pic was missing.
