Seeing paulmg01's SF cab in this thread - http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=124561- got me re-interested in making my own custom cabinet.
I know there are lots of people (myself included) who are restoring classic cabinets, but how many of us are making "custom" cabinets? I recently bought a SF II that was in a Quartet cab. Now, it can't stay there, so rather than just plunk it in a Dynamo cab, I want to make a custom cab for it.
I've seen the Jakobud plans and could probably take something from there and modify it, but was wondering what other people are doing. How do you start something like this? Do you work from a plan, do you copy a classic cab and then tweak it as you go?
Any pictures, plans, tips, tricks, stories to share? Thanks!
