Thanks in advance guys!!! :spaceace:

WOW!!! this going to be a AWESOME build :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:
-
After seeing how all your other replicas finished up I am really looking forward to seeing this one come together :)
-
YES ! Go Scr33n !
for a moment i thought it was over with the scratch builds because your space problem
Totally going to follow this carefully !
Dont know if this is a universal statement, but.. " the blood crawls where it cannot go"
-
Hell yeah! A new Scr33n project :-*
I can help you of course but not before next week :P No easy access to the cab... and away in few days 8)
-
My Defender is at my old friends place, I hope I can bring it back this weekend. ;)
-
You gonna scratch build the hot chick too? ;)

screen, i'm so glad to see you attempt this, the best looking cab out there IMO.
i would be very grateful for a copy of the measurements if i cant get all i need from this thread, i want to build a small working version at some point. :-* :-*
good luck, following with great interest :)
-
my cab is pulled out at the moment because of a ram error, so i can get you the measures. school holidays start tomorrow, i'll find some time then!

Forget the measures of that cab, let's have the measures of that nice lady ;)
And why didn't _she_ wear any "leg levellers" ? ;)
Come to think about it....she's probably 60 now ;)

alright max, here you go! note that i did my very best to get the measures as accurately as possible, it couldn't hurt though if someone else double-checked. i'm pretty sure that especially the sideart positioning was quite random, so you might have a lot of "creatitivy" there on where to put it.
1 = 76.2
2 = 177.4
3 = 2.5
4 = 0.1 - 0.3 (different on each side, i would go with 0.2)
5 = 1.3
6 = 4.3 - 4.5 (also different on each side)
7 = 0.7 - 1.1 (it rises from the front of the control panel towards the bezel)
8 = 1.2
9 = 1.2
10 = 9.7
11 = 43.3
12 = 57.3
13 = 62.1
14 - 16 = no space here, it's leveled with the sidepanels
17 = 8.1
18 = 5.3 (note that the speaker cutout isn't simply cut out straight, there's a certain angle here (if you know what i mean) - do you need pics?)
19 = 15.2
20 = 9.8
21 = 8.6
22 = 8.3
23 = 5.2
24 = 15.3
25 = 7.9
26 = 16.1
27 = 5.3
28 = 23.5
29 = 2.8
if you need anything else (pictures and stuff, just let me know, the cab is still pulled out, so i have full access to it)
good luck!!! :spaceace: :spaceace: :spaceace:

:spaceace: :spaceace: thanks Ully!!! :spaceace: :spaceace:

Yes a pic can help me
Thanks a lot Ully !!! :-* :-*

Scr33n is back on the road! Nice machine, surely worth to reproduce :spaceace:
-
Hey for this project I need another tv/monitor ...
No problem, today a mini roadtrip (20Km one way) to pickup a nice Tv/Monitor :wink:
20€ :o :spaceace: :-* not bad for a almost new crt tv.
(http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/7465/tv1iv.jpg) (http://img576.imageshack.us/i/tv1iv.jpg/)
-
That is indeed money well spend ! , thats a steal !
-
Damn it!!! Im so jealous, here in Canada were stuck with NTSC so no rgb input for us...
-
ok, second set of measures! but let me start with a picture of the cutout on the upper back first :arrow:
(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5070/5648921100_22a0da036c_b_d.jpg)
see what i mean when talking abot the angle?
anyway, here are the next measures you need for your porject:
30 = 50.3
31 = 20.1
32 = 18.0
33 = 44.5
34 = 16.5
35 = 47.0
36 = 10.0
37 = 3.0
38 = 9.5
39 = 66.4
40 = 145.7
41 = 24.5
42 = 53.5
43 = 3.6
44 = 1.4
let me add this: getting some of those measures is not easy because of some curves / angles involved, therefore no guarantee for the accuracy - would be cool if someone else with a defender cab could double-check. this is the first time i've taken measures for a scratch-built cabinet and what i've learned is this: without an original cab as a template to copy on a cnc machine, a reproduction cabinet can only be a very close approximation. what i would like to do is take one of scr33n's famous blueprints and put it on the side of a real cabinet to find out how accurate they really are. i'm sure they are extremely close, but how close would be interesting to see.
@max: perhaps you could send one of your blueprints over once you've created it for some final adjustments?
-
Thanks Ully!!!! :-* :-* :spaceace: :spaceace:
Wooaahh this air-grille is difficult to replicate (I'll see :?) thanks for the pic.

Yes this for sure, very difficult to replicate with great accuracy, but I try my best with your help and with cab-profile found on the net :P
... then ... the original cabs, were all identical? Mmmmhhh I've some doubts :roll:
Now I can start to plan ... ::) 8)

if anyone can do it, it's you max! good luck with the built and if you need anything else, just let me know! once again, confirmation of the measures i took would probably help ...

Does it matter, the grill angle accuracy? you'll never see it! :lol:
-
Ully please :oops: I need again your help on the last four (I hope :-\) measures :P
as always ... when you've time:

Yesterday I received the first package from US: :spaceace:

i'm always impressed how you manage to find stuff there. arcadeboneyard has the crappiest website E-V-E-R, i don't even bother looking there anymore because i haven't been able to find anything i want. am i missing something there?
p.s. hopefully i'll get you the missing measures today, i was out yesterday ;)

Hi,
do you know this thread in the arcadecontrols forum?
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=65938.0
I used the dimensions from this thread for my scratch build slim Defender cab.
Maybe you can use some of the values.
bye

Project continues ... slooowly:
slowly?
what i'm asking myself: are the measures, your drawings and the cuts that accurate that everything (marquee etc.) fits in like a glove or do you have to do some tweaking and use italian magic to make things fit?

Slowly ? in your opinion maybe,
slowly, but perfect Scr33n !

Awsome Scr33n ! :spaceace:

once again simply incredible!!!

Awesome as always ;)
quit your job please and start a replica business !! ;) you got gold in your hands
ps: sorry not to help for the measurements as the defender cab was for devpsx and not me in my RT
-
Again, it's looking incredible!!! I agree wit Kroustibat, you should start a BTO (Build to order) replica business... Since some cabinets are pretty hard to find I know I would probably order one....
-
Mmmmm...I think I might know why he doesn't want to do that....
Once the hobby starts to become a business, the fun is gone. Not sure of course, but it could be it :)
He Barry...glad to see you're still around...still got some T-molding for ya here....how about you pick it up here around....let's say saturday 3 september ?? ;D ;D ;D
In some strange way....your name is still not on the list of Eurocade ?!!?
-
He Barry...glad to see you're still around...still got a Time Pilot 84 PCB for ya here....how about you pick it up here around....let's say saturday 3 september ?? ;D ;D ;D
ps thanks for typing andre, i am too lazy myself :D
-
Hey, why don't I pick it up on let's say.... The 3rd of september???
Count me in!!!
-
Wahoo...don't forget to send me your details :)
Now....totally sorry to de-rail this thread about that brilliant Defender repro !!!!
By the way.....we still have to register our first Italian member for Eurocade, come on, flights can't be that expensive ? :D

What problems did you have? Can you explain?
same thing as the last time: a lot of "dirt" in the rolled on paint. i tried this in various rooms (because i thought there would be too much dust in the air), but the results were basically the same. also tried extremely cheap and extremely expensive rollers - same result. the paint is the same as always (just a different color) - i'm totally puzzled by this and can't really finish my resto because of that!
and I need the W insert :roll:... maybe someone can help me ? :-* :-* :-* ...
unfortunately, i can't remember where i got mine from, it was a guy on KLOV, so i would ask there. i've tried to find the details in old emails, but was unsuccessful. if i were you, i'd put up a posting on the american forum. if everything fails, you could at least have my scratched one or ask etienne to make you a repro 8)

Simply Beautiful..... Like seeing it for the first time in 1980. :o
-
"VET" is an expression in dutch for "totally awesome" or "supercool" or expressions with simular meanings of thiskind ;D

I sense a video coming soon ::) :P

outstanding work, max! i still don't understand how it is possible to do something like that. definitely a piece of art!
i'd be interested to see a picture of the inside of the cab if possible, curious how the computer stuff is set up!
btw, do you have leg levelers under that b****?

Wow! :o :o
Once more, you are an inspiration for making an arcade cab of my own. This is another job very well done, congrats!!
