Title: Dimensions for MegaTouch Needed
Post by: NinjaEpisode on March 07, 2006, 06:52:54 pm: I'm looking for the side dimensions for a Megatouch machine. Specifically, I'm curious as to the top half and the bottom half dimensions.

Anybody got a machine around that they can take measurements and post them?

Pic for reference:

You mean to tell me no one here has a megatouch? How 'bout some of you pub crawlers?

Not a bar hopper per say, but if I have to, I guess that'll be my only option.

As far as the dog, still squirtin....

They manufactured the Megatouch series in at least a dozen different cabinets over the years and specifications vary from model-to-model and series within that model. I should know, I service many of them in local taverns.

I don't really care what model it is that I get measurements from as long as it's a cabinet similar to the one posted in the picture above. It doesn't have to be that exact model, just similar in design as far as the sides go.

Post by: NinjaEpisode on March 10, 2006, 01:43:31 pm: Again, right on the money, already visited that. I'm obviously not being clear as to my intent. Those are great dimensions, they aren't specific measurements.

Example, on the top half of the above picture, what is the length of the front area?

That's cool though, I'll eyeball it and take care of it myself.

Thanks anyways.

Post by: BobA on March 10, 2006, 10:01:58 pm: OK now I get it. Even the full manuals have a blowup of the parts but no measurements. You would have to guestimate the dimensions. A real machine and a tape measure has got to be the way to go.
