I've got just about all of the pieces that I need (minus a marquee and brackets) for a Tron. It looks like a diagram is at http://www.classicarcadecabinets.com/tron.html but it doesn't seem to have measurements. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like I might be able to download the .dxf file and import it into Google Sketchup or something. Doing the work shouldn't be a problem. I scratch-built a MAME cabinet that got me started in the hobby. Any ideas?
 
Thanks. I'll give it a try. As cabinets go, Tron doesn't have a lot of weird angles. I was more concerned with getting the height of the control panel correct while leaving enough room for the translucent panels and "3D shroud".
 
I don't know what your plans are but I bought the Phoenix Arcade kit and am redoing mine to new. I'll have spare plastics and such if you'll have a need?
 
Thanks but I've got the plastics. I'm really only missing the inner art, translite, marquee, and brackets. Technically, I also need the side art but it's not cheap so I'm holding off on that for now. I've traded some messages with another KLOVer about a translite that he had for sale a year or so ago but is is in storage now. The brackets is the main thing that I'm on the lookout for now is brackets. I want to get the plans and measurements ready now because warm weather is around the corner and I'm looking forward to getting back into the garage.

I also have a marquee and the translite!
