I have wanted to see something like this for a 'long' time... I have asked a lot of people who have cnc'd cabs to donate the files but no-one really would unfortunately. If I could contribute in any way with measurements... Etc I would.

I have been kicking around the idea of starting up an "arcade open engineering" website with engineering drawings and 2D/3D models of classic arcade game parts. So people with machine capabilities would have access to the information required to repro stuff. It would be kind of like open source software, but for reverse-engineered physical parts.
Anyhow, I've been collecting what information I can find on the 'net, and supplimenting it with pieces and parts I've measured up and modeled.
If you willing to share the information freely, I'd be glad to make detailed engineering drawings and/or models from your measurements. I have access to AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Pro/E, Catia and a few other minor packages. I'm not sure what CAM utility the person cutting the material would be using, but for 2D patterns such as cabinet pieces, DXF (Autocad) is pretty common, as is the ShopBot format.
