Hey scr33n, I reply to this 2008 topic, cause I have some questions.

I plan to build a 70% scaled Taito cab, (I got the dimensions, and all), but I need some tips :

1/ How can you have angled cut on your boards (control panel, roof) : do you use an electric mitre saw or something ?

2/ Where have you bought these control panel metallic clamps ? I saw arcadeshp.de have some. Are they good ?

3/ How the glass is maintain ? only by these two thick length of wood on each side ? Nothing at top and bottom ends of the glass ?

Cheers from France,

Mike.

A simple jigsaw

2/ Where have you bought these control panel metallic clamps ? I saw arcadeshp.de have some. Are they good ?

Yes from arcadeshop.de

no problem at all, great quality items 

3/ How the glass is maintain ? only by these two thick length of wood on each side ? Nothing at top and bottom ends of the glass ?

Yep, but I suggest you to use a glass retainer on the top.

Last question, could you tell me the dimensions of :

- The two control panel boards ?

Thanks,

Mike.

Sorry Mike but I can't help you with measures... this cab is gone 2 years ago 

[EvilDindon]

No problem, thanks for your help.

I think I'll find these measures somewhere else on the net.
