I always check on arcade flyers for each of my cabs but I don't know if a "full" list exists.
Would be really useful when reorganising a game room for instance or transporting cabs.

Not all flyers contain the cab sizes, for some I have to look inside the manual.
I also visited Jakobud's cab plans but the size is always in inches and there are too many clicks to do until you see the measurements ;)

Reorganising the game room.....that's exactly the reason why I'm looking for such a list. Of course, we can (and Dirk did) measure the cabs we have but I think about making such a list :)

Let's do it here!
I can measure my collection this weekend... but if size matters, we all know that Bruno won this contest ;)

Great, more people jumping on the train :)

Dirk already measured (most of) our cabs so I will start a list.

I think it would make sense to add a photo, i.E. our european upright DigDug is different to the us version.


Gozer's cab models are spot on, from what I found out. But I would prefer if people would measure their own cabs :)


Yeah, those inch-sizes are annoying as hell. When I only think of those crazy screw sizes.....5/32, 7/32, 9/32....come on  ::)


PS: Let's not overdo it by adding weights  ;D

LOL...thanks Etienne, a simple calculator does the job ;)


Jochen, that's a good idea to start. Could you build a small example?

I would use the following data:

* Name of the Game
* Manufacturer
* Year (optional)
* Width
* Depth
* Height
* photo of the cab (this should be the actual cab where the measuring has been done!)
   What do you guys think? Should there be a small version pof the picture visible or just a link to a picture?


I wouldn't add more data so it doesn't get too big.
