Welcome to Classic Arcade Cabinets
The goal of this website is simple: to preserve the legacy of classic arcade cabinets. Since the early 1970s, arcade games have been a cornerstone of gaming history, but the cabinets themselves were never built to stand the test of time. Made from inexpensive materials and subjected to decades of storage, moisture, transportation, and general wear, many original cabinets have deteriorated beyond repair. In most cases, the parts survive—but the cabinets don’t.
This site exists to change that. Each cabinet is carefully traced, and detailed plans are created to ensure these machines can be rebuilt with accuracy and respect for the originals. Producing a single set of plans often takes more than six hours, even for smaller cabinets. While the files are provided in CNC‑friendly formats, many builders choose to recreate their cabinets by hand using the precise dimensions found in the DXF files.
This is truly a community-driven effort. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. If you have cabinet plans you’re willing to share, your support would be greatly appreciated. This project is my way of giving back to the hobby—and helping ensure these iconic pieces of gaming history aren’t lost.
