Title: Nintendo cabinet scratch build Post by: Jumpman on April 07, 2015, 03:01:15 am Hi,
i'm building a nintendo cabinet from scratch and need some help. I still don't know if it's going to be a donkey kong, donkey kong jr, or 3. This is how it looks right now (http://i62.tinypic.com/2n7gnyv.png). The bezel and marquee holder are homemade and i need to paint them black. Right now i need the dimensions of the viewing area of the original nintendo monitor (SANYO EZ20) because i'm searching a tv to use. I'm also willing to buy a control panel even if the wood is in bad condition but the overlay and controls are in recuperable condition. I'm a student so i don't have a lot of free time, money and access to the cabinet all year so i will not post updates very frequently. Thanks for the help.

What size? I ask because I have a MissCmd cocktail with a 14" Sanyo EZ20 in it. Can't take all this stuff for granted! :)Title: Re: Nintendo cabinet scratch build Post by: Jumpman on April 13, 2015, 07:30:50 pm Sorry, i tought there was only one size. The one in the nintendo upright cabinets should be 19 inch.

I find a cheap jamma cabinet with a neo geo one slot board so the nintendo cabinet is going to be a vertical monitor cab ( no VS. or mario bros). I also found a 19 inch tv with scart to use. Now i "only" need to find a control panel (or at least an orignal joystick), marquee, bezel, coin door and pcb. If someone in the US finds some beat up cabinet but with recuperable parts i will be happy to buy them. Title: Re: Nintendo cabinet scratch build Post by: Jumpman on July 27, 2015, 12:34:05 pm Small update... I'm finally home and can work on the cabinet. Recently on the web i found some accurate plans for the cabinet and i've checked mine and is "only" 5mm taller. Right now i need to make the slot for the t molding but i don't have a router, i need to find a cheap one.
I still haven't found the marquee, bezel, control panel, pcb, top and bottom bezel retainer. If someone has some of this items please contact me.
