ok, i had some success in getting dimensions for an asteroids cab:

thanks for those who contributed  :notworthy:

(it only took about a year! and the effort isnt wasted i think if it helps someone with a future project) but ive found that for my next intended project a space invaders cab is needed.



so does anyone have either a cab that they could measure or know where some dimensions are already posted? im hoping to have the dimensions a little quicker this time, but hey its all free so im not complaining!

oh, also it seems space invaders had the monitor pointing up with a mirror to view. i would really love a few pics of the insides of an original set up...

I have an SI that is in very good shape internally and is decent on the outside. I can get you all the dimensions and pictures you would need.

Let me know exactly what you need and I can start sunday afternoon.

danny_galaga:
that would be great! basically i need enough external measurements to make it look cosmetically accurate (see what i drew up for the asteroids cab). also, i want to mount the monitor in a similar way to the original so a few pics of the general arrangement would be great- measurements there arent really necessary, just a few pics. oh, and how does the background work, if it has one?

Grasshopper:
I've always thought there was something particularly cool about the mirrored-image approach used on early cabs. It's also more restful on the eyes to have the screen image further away.

I didn't have a chance to get measurments on Sunday. I will get them posted as soon as I can.
