Any games out there with the exact same cabinet as Ms Pac?

I need a rear door for my otherwise minty ms pac

I want one that exactly matches the original

I've asked around but no vendors are willing to let me take measurements off their doors

Anyway, how about galaga? same door?
 
I BELIEVE (don't quote me on this) but Ms. Pac, Pac, Galaga, Galaxian, etc etc are the same cabinet minus art. Most of those "Midway shape" cabinets should all be interchangeable. ... again, not 100% sure, never took a measure'ng tape to them.
 
I don't know if this will help you much, but making a rear door is quite easy if you have any woodworking skills/tools...? :confused:

Galaga is the only one I know is the "same" shape...

Galaxian and pacman are the same. Galaga might be the same size and may work but there are differences. If I remember right the Galaga has a vent opening on the bottom instead of just slots like the mspac.
Honestly I dont know of any doors that are exactly the same as a mspac.
 
Here is her door

The last pic is a rude drawing with measurements for you to copy if you want to make one

And the original material is 1/2" particle board.

The sides of Ms Pac and Galaga look the same, but there are some differences elsewhere. The monitor on Galaga sits down about an inch further towards the control panel. If you look at the Ms Pac and the Galaga bezels, you can see the viewing surface for the monitor is higher on the Ms. Pac.

This also means the support at the top of the control panel is smaller on the Galaga, since the monitor has to be able to slide under it.
 
Thanks a ton, Robomayhem!

Also, the mesh/wire grill for the air vents can be bought at Home Depot... Let me go see if I can find what I bought not too long ago, it was cheap!

Just went out and looked at it. Argh. Apparently I threw away the wrapper. It was something like a 4" roll of this steel mesh, and I think it was for covering gutters, and has a diamond-shaped pattern.

Yep, gutter guard is damn close to what they used on the back doors. The only difference is gutter guard is aluminum and the originals were steel.
 
Thanks x 1,000,000

Now THIS is exactly the information I was looking for.

Are Burger Time and Super Pac similar as well? The general shape is much like Ms. Pac, with the hat for Peter Pepper and the bite marks for Super Pac. I don't know if the doors are the same though.
