Australian style cocktail cab
LordDamo:
Hi all! Ive been looking around for a set of cabinet plans/ dimentions for an Australian style cocktail cab for quite somw time, with no luck.
Ive searched the city in which I live (Wagga Wagga, Australia) to try ans *sneek* some measurements off, with no luck.
Ive included a pic as part of this post, to help describe what im looking for. If anyone out there can help me in any way at all it would be most appreciated (even if its only dimentions).
Thanks in advance;
Damian Cross

Sorry, forgot to add, take note of the control panel, this is the main part im having probs finding - sorry if I appear a little dim, but im new to this.
Thanks;

May I ask why you would want the controls almost vertical, my Auzzie friend? I remember playing the Nintendo cocktail tables way back when (not the double screen but the real DK-era cocktail) and having just one stick and one button at that angle was almost too much.
If you want this cab design because that's what you grew up with and that's what you want to play on again (comfort be damned) then my hat is off to you! However I would be surprised if plans for that type of cab are out there.
LordDamo:
Yeah, thats why im wanting this kind of CP - its what I remember playing on (comfort be damned!). Me and a few mates would sneek into the back of one of the local pubs to play galaga at the age of 10. It cost 20 cents a game, I came to like yard work at this time cause it ment I could play more games ;D
This kinda died off once I got a Commodore 64. Im going to keep searching around for one so I can make some plans, and get them online - ive seen a few other Aussies request some plans for this style of cabinet on various other boards - but this one is one of the best so I thought I would toss it out there.
If I made one, I would make one small addition, and inclde a spinner as well, so you have the option of using it.
Its not too hard to use, its all in how you hold your joystick and in which corner of your mouth you put your tounge. ;)

Just start building as you are never going to make an exact replica of one of those without a wood shop and machine shop. They are all angles, it is a tough build.
