Standalone "showcase style" CP pedestal plans?

(1/3) > >>

StudioQue:
I'm in the planning stages of a project I'm working on ( http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=91733.0 ), and am unsure of where to start in the design of a stand-alone pedestal for a showcase styled cabinet.

Has anyone worked on something similar or seen plans for something similar they'd be able to share? Have had a hard time finding something to base my initial measurements on.

Thanks!

Hoopz:
Here are some details that I have.  They don't have measurements though.  If you need exact measurements, let me know and I'll get you any that you need.  It may take a day or two but I can do it fairly easily, if not very quickly.

Awesome, this is a great help..thanks!

I may take you up on some measurements after I've had a chance to digest this a bit...

I'm assuming this is designed for the control section and cabinet section to be connected. Have you tried using the control section when its not connected to the cabinet? Do you think it would be sturdy/balanced enough to be used on its own?

Do you have a top-down view of the control section? I'm trying to determine if the "wings" that stick out at the base of the control panel (looking at sc33_4.jpg) come out at right angles or if they are angled back a bit more. I think i'd prefer mine angled back, but want to make sure it won't compromise stability.

What size monitor is in the cabinet? What's the distance from the monitor to where you stand when playing? Just trying to get an idea of how far back my control section should be from my TV.

Thanks!!

Thanks, I did forget to mention that I had found those plans and have been reviewing them. I don't have much/any experience building these things and wasn't sure if the CP stand in this build could stand on its own or needed additional support. Any thoughts on that?
