Regarding the different cab sizes, i really don´t care :) - however, i was planning to buy some Centipedes and convert them into Arabian and Kangaroo, but then they will have the wrong shape now..   :-\ :-\

sounds good: "buy some centipedes". are they growing on trees in denmark? if so, do you also have trees with millipedes ;) you could put the dig dug into a centipede cabinet, then they would all look the same. or you could simply say "what the f***, who cares?"  8)
all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

He he, I (_I_) care, want the rest of the ATARI cabs as close as possible, of course i could cut the excess material of at the sides.... nooooo, the horror! - can´t get myself to cut/modify a pede into Arabian/Kangaroo...!

Atari cabinet shapes for putting games next to each other

Centipede, Liberator and Asteroids Deluxe
Starwars and Xevious
DigDug, Kangaroo and Arabian
(Euro: DigDug, Fast Freddie, Black Widow, Gravitar and Kangaroo)
Gravitar, Black Widow, Space Duel and Quantum
Tempest and Millipede
Major Havoc, Firefox, Return of the Jedi and I, Robot
Asteroids and Lunar Lander
Battlezone and Red Baron

Crystal castles doesn't match any cabinets other than the prototype Cloak & Dagger and Major Havoc cabinets

I can't remember if Pole Position matches Centipede style or Digdug style, someone else can work that one out ;)

What you don't know Todd ? You newbie ! ;D ;D

Here's Todd:
http://www.tntamusements.com/media/

Be sure to watch ALL of the video's and for the entire running.....it's very funny and looks, uhm, very American in our European eyes.

I've bought a number of Suzo inductive joysticks from Todd. One time it took quite long for them to arrive. So when I asked around, Todd investigated and it turned out he had accidentally shipped them by surface mail. He instantly returned the difference in shipping costs and the parts arrived safely although it took quite some time, but I was in no rush. Anyway, he is great in comms and customer service.

The only bad thing is that throwing some old cabs over the edge of the roof......no matter what, that hurts but he says they were impossible to rescue.

Todd has an amazing collection of cabarets or mini's of you want to call them like that. He is also the proud owner of the ultra-rare (Australian) Berzerk cabaret:

http://www.habosarcade.com/Berzerk-Cabaret.htm

LOVELY side-art, much nicer then the upright IMHO.....

Todd had a Dominos PCB for sale on e-bay at one moment in time, but I thought the over 100 bucks it got was not worth it.....
He posts on KLOV forum every now and then.
