So i’m thinking sad thoughts about having to potentially rebuild the cabinet because the gorramn sides are puffy all around the edges where the MDF has absorbed too much moisture. maybe its previous home was a bathhouse? or a bar where people had water guns? who knows. anyway, there’s just not much we can do about it (from a salvage standpoint), save trying to sand it and then laquer over it. and i bet you can guess how successful that’s going to be.

which leads us to trying to trace the sides of the cabinet to get approximate dimensions, and/or getting plans online and adapting them to use (and/or just building the damn thing over from scratch).

in the brief amount of searching i’ve done so far, i’ve found this plan at MAMEWorld (the ‘Galagads’ plan). it’s fairly informative, and even if we can ultimately use it, will help us design our own. i’ll post more as i find them. if anyone’s reading this and knows of a useful cabinet plan resource, post a comment and let me know. i’d be uber-grateful.
