Anyone have a Q*Bert upright or Midway Mini Cabaret cabinet?

MonitorGuru:
I am in the process of building one of each, and the various plans online are not complete enough to allow me to finish and I would appreciate someone spending about 10 minutes on the cabinet gathering a few measurements for me.

For the Midway Mini/Cabaret, a Gorf or Galaga or Satan's Hollow would work best to copy, but any might be helpful (e.g. Tron, Ms.Pac, Kickman, WizardOfWor, but not Galaxian/Pac-Man or RallyX which are the much different design)

Thanks!

This page looks to have some good dimensions for a Ms. Pacman:

Thanks, but I am looking for a MINI (Cabaret) Midway, not their full size uprights.. I already have 3 of them :)


And yes, I've checked out Jakobud's site and the measurements are not complete enough to make an exact cabinet (e.g. a lot of the measurements are offset from a previous measurement, not in relation to an absolute point (e.g. bottom back corner). Therefore things like the speaker board/backboard/bezel can end up moving lots, changing their relative angles yet still "fitting" per their measurements due to thicknesses of the boards, etc..

Also, there is no information regarding the size of the back pieces like the permanent piece at the bottom top and the swinging back door height, etc..

His plans are good to make a good mame cabinet and eyballing, but I have original parts (marquee, bezel, control panel, etc..) that I need to ensure will fit and with a few more measurements I can make it 'exact'.

Thanks
