Built from scratch, 75% scale of a Taito cabinet, a few liberties taken and a few dimensions tweaked for a better viewing angle.
19 n1 multiboard, thanks Nix!!
Lighted buttons, custom decals, computer LCD I had siting around, coin door even works, cost roughly 300 bucks in parts, although a few things I already had.

Can you guess what my daughters name is????????????????????????

Thanks guys!! My plans are probably no good, just a rough diagram of a full size Taito cab, then 75 percent measurements off that, i then tweaked some measurements for a better viewing angle, and to make better use of the plexiglass size.

Taito? :D

That is a cool little cab. I actually have a couple of cabarets I plan on building very soon for games that never came that way. It is always fun to see some of the creative stuff people come up with.

Now that you are done do you wish you had made another as long as you were going through all the work? Wouldn't be too much more work as you already have all the sizes and shapes ready to go so you just make a couple more cuts. Just asking because the first custom cab I did after I was done I was kicking myself for not making another while I was at it. Lot easier to do two at once than to go back and start at square one again, unless you made templates while you were doing it.
