Title: Robotron exact Cabinet dimensions ! (Help)
Post by: maxmix on December 11, 2007, 09:42:59 pm
I'd thought i'd try in here also.... If this is the wrong section could a Mod move it to where someone can help  :dizzy:

Well.... Just bought an original CP inc Joys (I reckon they will be knackered) for an upright Robotron from eBay last week.... All I need is an exact Cab to go along with it lol (Which you cannot buy here in the UK)

I have plans for original Defender and Joust etc from the various sites that have these details...

I can't find full size Robotron drawings anywhere.... Can someone give me a link to a set or email me a set ?

hd@hhd.co.uk

Thanks

 Better yet, sell me the panel so I can steal the sticks and you build something else, lol.

Why is this so hard to find ?

Why?  easy... Because nobody has measured one.

The only Robotron plans known to be out there are for the cocktail one. You can find those on http://www.jakobud.com/ (http://www.jakobud.com/)

Somebody on here must own a Robotron... why not try asking specifically for the dimensions and see if they can help, instead of asking for the location of pre drawn out plans on the web.

Hey Guys, If you, Maxmix, or anyone else will provide me a exploded diagram of all the areas you want measurements for that I can print out.

I will measure my Robotron and fill it in.

 I need to know how accurate you need it to be and will you be needing it measured in metric?

Thanks Guys... I spotted the Cocktail plans (and Defender upright) at http://www.jakobud.com/
 a while back.... I just thought original drawing would have been easier to come by....

and I did not want to bother anyone with an original Robotron cabinet etc....

OUt of the thousands of units made I thought plans would have been available with no probs....

I'll keep looking :)

Good call.

I have one in my workshop but I am too busy right now to measure.

If you are still looking in mid Jan, drop me a PM.

I will soon have an original empty UK Joust cabinet extra. The cab is exactly the same as the UK Robotron so you can easily convert it.
