Any interest in original cab dimensions
IG-88:
I love the fact that he's got this thing sitting in what looks like the middle of the kitchen....awesome! ;D

I guess I missed the news about the site update. Thanks man! Nice to see the Moon Patrol cab was added too. Now I have to decide between Galaga and Moon Patrol :o

Would you supply me with the Pole Position Cabinet dimensions? Also, does your cabinet have the artwork on the sides? If so, would you be willing to take some pictures of the sideart for me also? THanks.

I would be more than happy to help anyone undertaking such a project. But I need a quick clarification that has probably been answered somewhere on this thread.
It seems some people are offering pics+measurements. Is that OK? Here's the cabs that I have to be measured. Keep in mind this is a barn find and most are conversions, so if we are talking tape measure and digital camera I can handle that. Or if the following list contains enough cabs that people need dimensions to I'll read up on Autocad and do my best.
Here are the cabs I believe I can measure accurately (most were exposed to the elements for several years and have bad bottoms so this is an incomplete list-plus I can't name all the cabs.
Super Pac Man
I have 3 of these cabs but I think I only have one back, maybe none.
Stern cab
I have two-no backs again. These are conversions so I don't know what they were originally. I have been told they are a common Stern cab used by Frenzy, Turtles, etc.. Here is a pic of what one looks like-mine have the "Stern" logo down the side like the one in that link.
Bubbles?
This is a Williams cab that currently houses Yie-Ar Kung Fu. The bottom is rough on one side so measurements might be hard, I don't know yet because I've never tried. :)
Centipede
Again the bottom is rough. Currently has a Wrestling game. But the CP is a lightly converted Centipede CP if those measurements are needed.
Pole Position UR
Empty cab but I believe I have both parts to the back.
Game Plan
Currently houses a Mr Do's Castle. Say's it was made in 1981 in IL.
Gorf
No CP, but otherwise in good shape for measuring.
Zaxxon/Congo Bongo
I have two. These cabs are made of particle board and aren't worth restoring, but between the two I can get measurements. Both are complete, lumberwise. Lots of doors and angles on these cabs.
Universal Cab
This is exactly what I have. Universal made a lot of conversions and this seems to be their most common cab. Awesome design. Two-piece back, all complete.
I have others that I either cannnot think of or haven't yet ID'ed.
LMK if I can help.

I am in talks with lancelet about getting all those dimensions for those cabinets he has access to, including pole position. Actually come to think about it, I already have partial pole position cabinet plans that I measured myself, but I have not attempted to draft them up yet, because of the complicated plastic area around the steering wheel. It will be tricky but I will attempt that soon.
spriggy:
Good Job on the plans Jakobud.
Greatly helps people such as myself who just don't have access to full or gutted classic cabinets...especially living down here in Western Australia!!
If you need any help compiling plans, I'm proficient in DeltaCAD. Very easy program to use! Please feel free to ask this pedantic SOB!.
Can anyone help on dimensions for a Taito generic cab for my 'Jungle Hunt' Build Project (ie Jungle Hunt, Elevator Action, Qix etc.)??
