Title: Hankin Tabletop Project?
Post by: Invader04 on August 03, 2007, 12:00:15 pm

Many people from this chatline have inquired over the years about the Hankin Tabletop designs. Marcus was an inspiration for all of us, however he disappeared from the board. Members in the past: ZZSPRADE, and MOD have expressed their interest in this as well writing: Any update on the progress of your plans being available to the public? I'm really looking forward to them - even if they are just line drawings with dimensions.
Anyone care to share?

Thanks

I don't know of any definitive plan set floating about for Hankins but Loadman (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?action=profile;u=8030) dimensioned his a while back:

Also there's a guy on Aussie Arcade, if you're registered there, who was also looking recently.  You might ask him.

http://www.arcadetables.com.au/ is a Brisbane business who are making reproductions for the home market as well as pubs etc.  If you're anywhere near Brisvegas you might try bringing a tape measure to the Brekky Creek or Embassy or wherever they seem to have one ;D

Make sure you start a build soon - I'm always keen to see another Aussie cocktail underway!

Thank you Shock,

     Your referenced web links are most appreciated. It would be nice if some of the previous Arcade Controls members that expressed interest in the Hankin Tabletop in previous blogs would step forward and share their findings - if they haven't gotten discouraged thus far. I will pursue checking out other resources and figure out where I can get the hardware and electronics once I have my parts list put together. I have never seen a Hankin Tabletop model, so I'm totally reliant on cross refenced support.
I myself live in California. Again,  thank you for your suggestions and resources. Keep in touch.

I just hope I am not too late. It has been so long since I have been on the BYOAC boards.

I do not know if it will be of much use but I may have access to a Hankin reproduction to take a tape measure to (Note in metric measurements rather then imperial).

I just do not know how skilled I will be at reproducing them or how exact it will be, given that I will only have access to the outside.

If there is any interest let me know.

Since then I have opted to go the Aussie 'School Desk' route, which is still very much a work in progress.
