Hi from the UK

[Shun_di]

I've been watching John's Arcade vids for a while now and it has to be my favourite channel on youtube.
I wish I had a basement to fill full of arcades, however I've made a start on my garage 
I've got a mame cab with integrated Dreamcast and beer fridge and a Naomi Universal.

However I want a dedicated classic in the garage now but they can be quite pricey in the UK (average £500-£1000).
So, having been inspired by John's Pac-man cabaret restore, I want one now and I'm going to build one around a Pac-man PCB.

I might need a bit of help with the dimensions though. I have the dimensions of the sides but I need to know the height and angle of the cp and bezel etc. If anyone has a copy of pac-man cabaret plans, I would be most grateful.

Hi - welcome.

You are right about the prices...but what you are quoting is ebay prices.
If you get on the Jammaplus and/or UKVAC forums, watch the for sale sections, and post up your wants list you could be pleasantly surprised.

Good luck!

Thanks lesoleil70.

I'm actually a relatively new member on the UKVAC forums and bought a few things from other members (including a monitor chassis for my Naomi). I may do this for the next classic which I think will be a .

However another consideration is the wife  ;)
For some reason she doesn't mind me building one slowly, but would rather we spend our money on unimportant things like the house and the family at the moment.  ;)

Also, I've already kind of started, by cutting out the sides after finding a to scale sketch up model of a pac-man cabaret.
I just need the internal dimensions now. I might even upload the build to youtube bit by bit.

Hi buddy.
Im another Englander and Im also on UKVAC.
You need to get those vids uploaded ASAP!
I completely understand where your coming from with scratch builds.
Im looking at a scratch Gyruss build in the new year, I have 2 more cabs I need to get finished first  ;)

Welcome to the site! Good luck with your Pac build!

[Shun_di]

Thanks John. Just finished watching the Puerto Rico vid, looks like you had a great time. That beercade sounded cool, too bad it shut down.

EvilOtto, I will try and get some vids of the build uploaded ASAP. I've got a video of my Mame cab on my poor excuse for a channel (search for shundi12 on youtube if anyone is interested). I need to get lots of arcade goodness on there.

Good luck with your other cabs, are they scratch builds as well?
