Cab plans that were on ebay

[neokidgeo]

Hi guys,

A friend of mine was asking about a guy on ebay who was selling plans for defender and and load of other classic cabs but i can't find anything on there only mame stuff, I was just wondering if anyone knew about it or got some off the guy?

Cheers

Jakobud isn't on ebay - but maybe it'll work for you

I actually bought one of these from Craig Conway off of Ebay. It doesn't include all the plans with it. It's a PDF file with embedded links. The link for the Defender cab plans sends you to Jakobud's site.

That's spystyle, one of the members here. I think he posted a tutorial here as well.

For instance DIY Arcade by C Conway

:edit: that looks like a pretty low quality build though. Particle board, drywall screws through the plexi and pasted together inkjet prints for the artwork.

Yep, I bought that tutorial pdf. It was my introduction to cab building.

Wish I'd found this place first - would have saved me a few quid. Sorry to report that there is nothing in that pdf that you can't find here.

neokidgeo,

If Defender is your game .... I dissected my defender when I restored it... you will find all the panel dimensions in my project thread...

I'd be happy to take any extra pics/measurements if you need more...

Thanks guys 

Thanks retro i have 3 defenders to restore but one is very badly damaged so new bottom back panel and the the bottom both sides must have been pulled along a road because they are about 3/4 of an inch lower then one of the good cabs i have.
All i need now is a pac man thread with measurements 

Thanks again

jakobuds site has pac man measurements.

Only problem with jacobuds plans is the missing upper and lower back panel measurements.
Thanks for replying though

Oh that would be a problem then.  I never really took a glance at them before, just kinda assumed they were all there in entirety.  Well unless you need exact dimensions you might be able to just plug in what would seem right.  Like i said i havent looked at the plans for a pac so it might be more difficult than that.
