If you have ever wanted to build an arcade cocktail machine just like the Pacman / Ms Pacman cabinets from the past then you are in the right place

UPDATED 01 AUG 2009

Fully Converted set of Metric Pac / Ms Pac Cocktail Cabinet Plans


Based on KYLE'S LINSTROMES PLANS [1] Which actually use a 1 INCH THICK TOP, so that's why the top is NOT on this initial cut schedule.[/COLOR]

  • * * * IF you want to use a 16mm thick top, then cut the sheet to 1828 x 1220 FIRST * * * * Use the 600 x 1200 offcut piece for the top

[COLOR="Blue"]The layout was re-arranged for easier use on a bench saw - So if entirely using a jigsaw, the old layout will work fine for you[/COLOR]

The straight red lines are the cuts
