I gutted this generic (pac style) cab to send the guts to braido in canada awhile back.

So anyway, after a lot of work it doesn't look so shitty anymore. (was all wood grain)

I am getting to the point where I am going to build a control panel, but I was wondering if someone could measure their CP so I can see if an arcadeshop one will work.

I have attached a couple of pics.
It is unique in the sense that the current cp set up with nothing more than a plastic bezel that had buttons attached to it, it sat really flat. (asteroids style game, no joystick)

I need to decide if any control panel will work on here, or if I just need to get some wood and drill my holes for joystick, etc.

I believe thats a galaxian/pacman cabinet. A control panel from a galaga/mspacman
wont work.

I'll take some pictures/measurements tonight of a galaxian control panel I have.
 
this is a straight generic pile of shit.

straight generic


I have done a ton of priming/painting to make it look like a pac cab.

rest assured though, this is a generic pile of shit cab. it's strong, but generic.

heavy as hell too.

I can lift a galaxian over my head with everything in it. I can hardly drag this cab and there is no monitor in it.
 
Just measured my Pac Man, it's 23" wide and 6 7/8" deep. The face of it is 3 7/8" tall, with a small lip about 3/4" wide at the bottom that makes contact with the cab. Ms. Pac had the same dimensions except the lip at the bottom is smaller (probably only about 1/4").
 
i've got a factory cp from a galaga here -
it measures 23" wide, 7" deep, and 3 7/8" tall.
edit - the lip on the bottom that turns back in towards the cab is 9/16"

I have a spare ms pac and a spare galaga panel if you need it..

thanks for all the replies guys.

this cab is like 22 1/2" wide. I will go measure again to be sure.
I am going to have to just build it from wood, or get a custom steel panel made.
