Title: Dragon Spirit/Galaga88/Pacmania Measures
Post by: Galaga88 on April 23, 2015, 11:18:16 AM
Hi there.
I bought a Pacmania Cabinet for almost nothing.
The cab is damaged by water so i need to replace the sides (or one side only).
Does somebody has the measures (Vector file) from the Atari Cabinet?

Thanks

you put paper on the floor and turn the cab to the side. then you take a pen and draw a line around the edges.

Or you use the wood you plan to use for your new side...so you don't have to transfer the drawing from the paper to the wood ;)

very good idea if you cut it yourself.

so far...no problemas :-) BUT:

how do i get the big paper into my computer?........cut it down in a lot of A4 size papers and scan it ?

easiest way would be to have an vektor file

what do you want with it in your computer? if you bring the wood to a carpenter he has all he needs.

here“s a guy around the corner who's into cnc milling.
he needs vector files for 110% creating the original side

carpenter would be also possible but i thought cnc is better
