Title: Reproduction Red Tent
Post by: pyrofool on December 09, 2015, 08:40:02 pm
Hi guys,

I recently just finished retrofitting a Kangaroo cabinet to a mame machine and I'm looking to my next project. I would like to make a reproduction red tent and run it as a 4 player mame machine. I would like to split the video and have 2 players per side. The problem I'm having is that I can't find any detailed specs for it. Could any help me out with some detailed specs/dimensions?

A couple pictures of the Kangaroo I picked up locally for 20$. It had a Crystal Castles panel in it and the smoked glass so I couldn't pass it up.

Are you thinking of something like this? (Not mine but wish it was)

Yeah. Unless I could find the cabinet for really cheap, I would rather build one from the ground up and put some thought into how it would work. I would also want to have 6 buttons per person, which would require a good amount of rework on the control panel anyway.
