Any interest in original cab dimensions
MonkeyBoy:
Hi all,
I'm quite new to the arcade scene, but am looking at building my first cab, an 80's cocktail style!
Could anybody help provide plans for a cab similar to this one? I'm guessing it's more of a generic cab than one for a specific game.
Anyhoo, I found it on this chaps' website

I would really appreciate any help people could give to this one - I've already got the chrome T-moulding on order ;D
I have also started to model it out using Pro/ENGINEER and would be quite willing to provide the final models and drawings once I'm happy with the dimensions - sadly it's just a bunch of guesswork at the moment :(
Thanks in advance.
Jakobud:
I'm not sure what game that 'generic' cocktail comes from... I can't remember who it was who created that 3d render, but I believe that design is their own original creation. The closest I can guess as to what it's from is the old space invaders style, but its still way different from that.
MonkeyBoy:
Wow! Didn't even realise it was a render!!!!
Should've guessed nobody keeps their floor that clean :D
Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have to stick with my estimated dimensions and make it up myself - it's an excellent design and I hope the creator of the render is happy with me to create my own cab under their inspiration.
I'll post anything that I manage to do. I was particularly interested in this design as it would allow two players to play side-by-side which could be achieved by lengthening the control box a little. The reason I want a two-player cocktail is that the missus only gave me permission to make one because she thought she was getting a coffee table out of it!!! :-[ DOH!
Jakobud:
Monkey,
Here's the original thread that render is from:

Get ahold of the author and persuade him to pass his plans your way and I can draw them up for you if you if you want.
Stingray:
First of all I'd like to thank Jakobud for doing this. I'm planning to start on a cab project after the holidays, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who finds this info to be extremely helpful.
I'd like to request Joust, unless it uses the same cab as one of the ones you've already done.
