Welcome to Classic Arcade Cabinets

The purpose of this website is to preserve the "arcade cabinets". Video arcade games have been around since the early 1970s. The cabinets were produced with the cheapest materials possible and never intended to last. Add into the equation 40+ years of warehousing costs, water damage, humidity, and transportation, and it is not surprising that many of the earlier cabinets have been scrapped when they start to fall apart. When these cabinets get scrapped, many time they are scavenged for parts and the parts are put on a shelf. The end result is that often you can find parts for a game, but not actually the game cabinet.

The purpose of this site is to preserve the game cabinets. Cabinets are painstakingly traced and detailed parts plans are created. This process usually takes over 6 hours per set of plans (for small cabinets). While the plans are listed in CNC friendly formats, most users of this site are reproducing arcade cabinets by hand since all of the dimensions are in the DXF files.

This is a community effort. Thank you to all of you who have contributed to the site. Additionally, if you have an arcade build plans are willing to donate to the cause, your help is greatly appreciated. This is my contribution to the "hobby".
