Title: Joust Arcade Cabinet Plans
Post by: battlecat on September 25, 2009, 10:29:05 am: Hi:

I am looking for a set of plans to refurbish a Joust arcade cabinet. I cannot seem to find anything via the all powerful Google. Anyone know of a set or a similar set of plans?

Thanks
Rich

Nope Jackobud has plans but they are just dimensional plans for the exterior. I'll do some google searches here.

Thanks!

Post by: Beretta on September 25, 2009, 05:49:00 pm: nice picture cheffo, looks like i had it wrong.

2 versions of robotron.. although it does look like joust a bit it's not the same if you look carefully at the curves.

although what i said about moon patrol & joust is correct, they're the same except joust is 26, moon patrol 24 inch wide.
