Any interest in original cab dimensions

<< < (18/69) > >>

Jakobud:
Well it is a little quiet.  Honestly it's been difficult for me to get people to send me dimensions of things.  And there is only so much I can find on the internet.  I'm still slowly working on a pacman/galaxian cabinet plan and I also found some 'semi-accurate' dragon's lair II plans... but they are slightly incomplete.  And I haven't been able to find tempest plans that are accurate and complete.

I 'have' been contacted by several people about using my plans as templates, mainly ms. pac-man/galaga simply because there is no easy way to cut/draw the long sweeping curves in the plans.  My plans give extremely accurate approximations of the true curves using radius', but thats difficult to draw and cut on a piece of wood without a template.  Anyways, all my drawings are to scale... pretty much all the plans are 1" = 1' (or 1:12) so if you simply scale the drawings up by a factor of 12 you will have their full size 1:1 cabinet template.

Anyone....ff you have cabinet plans PLEASE email them to me or Personal Message me.  I would love to get up as many plans as possible so that everyone can benefit.

I just want to say that I think what you are doing is very cool!  My Tron project would be in the building phase by now, but I'm having trouble getting the monitor bezel shipped to the UK, due to its size -

Sooooo in the mean time, can I request that someone (menace if you get the chance) measures the radius of the curves on a Tron machine. May as well get it as accurate as I possibly can.

I'd also be interested in which (exact replica) two player cabinet would make the best MAME machine? I'm toying with X-Men Children of the Atom, but would prefer something even more retro... (Has to be cool looking though -  to get past 'she who must be obeyed'  :) )

Alright--next time i'm at my brothers (might be a couple of weeks depending on the real-life stuff) I will get your corner radii (as close as i can) and the inside layout of the tempest for jakobud.  I will also get the neo-geo cab done as these have a very roomy two player control panle and nice shape for a mame machine--it was my first choice but the cab i have now was free so you can't beat that.

I'm confused, these plans may be incomplete but they are not inaccurate--let me know what you think is incorrect and I will double check the dimension.

Sorry I mean't to say incomplete or inaccurate.  Your dimensions seem accurate but just missing quite a few parts regarding the maquee area, bezel angle, control panel angle, and kickpanel area.

Here's Asteroids Deluxe.  If you are going for extreme accuracy, then I would suggest verifying these measurements... expecially the 33 1/2" measurement.
