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

> Nice job on the galaxian cab work! Did you freehand those grooves or do you have a cnc router? I have an empty galaxian project cab too if you need any measurements off that!
Thanks. Nope, don't need any measurements, as Galaxian is identical to PacMan, and I already had a pac-man cabinet. Actually, I build the Galaxian 4.5" shallower than the PacMan (so if it looks a bit "small" in the above pic, that's why) Obviously they had a lot of wasted space in there! This way I was able to cut both sides out of the same 49x97 piece of Melamine instead of using 2 :) In fact, I have fully completed ALL of the Galaxian.. .just havn't posted pictures yet.
I freehanded all of those...well, not free, I did clamp down a board on every one of them (tons of them!!) Nope, no CNC for me :( Only took about 5 hours to do both sides I think. Took almost as long to measure and copy and double check everything.
Ahh... so the mini's didn't use brackets on the side (see the T-----T structure on the galaxian picture) like the full uprights... they just bracketed to the back and the front.. Well, I will deiviate from that and make mounting rails and mount it with 1/2" mdf around the tube instead... a lot easier to put in and take out. I will gustimate the alignment on it then.
