Pac-Man Mini Cabinet Finished

[wilef]

My latest project is now done.  This was a wedding gift for my brother and his wife (I'm about 20 months late).  It's a 3/4 size Pac-Man cabinet with original coin door and marquee (from a Pac-Man mini cabinet).  The artwork for the side art was sized down to fit and then each individual piece was cut out so there would be no white or yellow border around it.  The control panel artwork is pretty much unmodified, just resized.  The 1 and 2 player start buttons act as action buttons and there are 2 hidden buttons under the marquee/light to act as start and coin insert.  The bezel artwork is modified to fit the vertical monitor orientation (CRT 17") and is just printed on paper between 2 pieces of plexi.  Inside is a Keywiz eco-40 and an old Dell PC just barely small enough to fit in the bottom.  I plan on detailing the build process when I get time, but for now, here are some final pictures.

Cabinet looks great!  What are the dimensions of the cab?  LxWxH?

Will you be posting the plans of your cabinet build?  I'd like to build a "scaled-down" cabinet for my son.

Once again, great job!

The plans were from jakobud: http://jakobud.com/plan.php?id=23

I just changed the dimensions to 3/4 size.  I'll probably setup a blog with the build process, but I'll post that here when I do so.

Very nice.  If you didn't have something to show the scale it would look like a full size cab.

Love the key-chain.

That is sweet. 

I assume you had the artwork shrunk down 3/4 also?? Where did you get it at?
