Building a Tetris cab

[Muerto]

Hello
I got all i need, PCB, CPO, Marquee and side art - the thing im missing is the Cab - so this i making my self - but i donīt have the specs/messures
Is there anybody out there that can provide these?

Why not simply use that pic and do something similar to it. You don't have to have the original dimensions or even need to be exact. At least I wouldn't care to. I'm making my cab to be simlar to the Q-bert cab. But I'm definitely not going by the Q-Bert specs.  I have the technology to remake this cab better. And I will. But if you insist that it must be exact dimensions then good luck.

I hope you enjoy this hobby, its a fun one!

i am building a donkey kong cabinet and used the cabinet plans from jakobud.com.
i'll allready checked but i couldn't find a plan for a tetris cabinet there.

but there probably are cabinets similar to the tetris one on that website.

good luck!

I'm pretty sure that tetris was only offered in a conversion kit.

There was a Tetris arcade at a bar I used to hang out at in front of my college. It was the original old tetris game but the arcade cab didn't look anything like that. I forget what it looks like but it wasn't anything like that. It was more of a regular style upright cabinet.

Isn't that an old Track and Field cab?

Yes,
That is a Track and Field cab.

I've never seen a dedicated Tetris. I have seen many conversions though of all shapes and sizes.

My question is this: You really paid money to play tetris in an arcade? Everyone I knew had a copy for Nintendo and Gameboy. I think it bundled with the gameboy.

My design has changed a bit though, I'm just too lazy to update.

I remember playing Tetris on arcade. I remember the "music trick", when you pull "outside" both sticks (the left to the left and the right to te right) the screens changes immediately and you could "advance" to the one the music plays. Pretty useless, but cool
