Well, the problem with Jakobud plans is this: They are all wrong. They are close, and more of a guide to making a lookalike. The other problem, is your only getting the outside of the cabinet, no internal part details. I spend a ton of time programming and tweaking a cabinet file, till  everything is within .03 of the original. On top of that, i have to buy the cabinets to copy, and the better half of them have to be torn apart and destroyed to faithfully reproduce them. Shipping is always a problem, but these being cocktails, i imagine i could stack two and ship as one game, if some of you live close enough together for that. Could also ship unassembled too. I checked the VAPS list for owners, there aren't very many eliminator 4 player cabinets out there.

I think there are many people who would like to build their own from scratch rather than paying big dollars to ship an empty box. There used to be many free sites for artwork kicking around...so why not plans?.. Jkobud or whatever it was was a good attempt, but it could be better. I have a great url and hosting, others as well so I hope this could gain some traction. It would be nice to see things like this for cabs like the paper arcade models that grew exponentially when someone started doing them. Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.

Couple people on the KLOV forums turned me on to this, my handle over there is DPTwiz  I have read some of you want a reproduction of the 4 player eliminator cocktail? I am a collector, and also have a hobby business reproducing cabinets. If any of you have an eliminator cocktail, and provide pictures and detailed plans, i can make them. I can also work with .AI , .DXF. and Shopbot files. Here's my site if you guys would like to see some of my work, www.arcaderestoparts.com thanks, Brett ________________________________ From: "livnfree_can@yahoo.com" <livnfree_can@yahoo.com> To: vectorlist@vectorlist.org Sent: Tue, August 31, 2010 5:03:05 PM Subject: Re: VECTOR: 6100 yoke question Check original red/blue and yellow/green resistance and compare to plug positions on new one. (If that's the combo you did) if the same you should be fine. Sent wirelessly from my BlackBerry device on the Bell network.

The numbers on the yoke match closely 9A2806-001D 17-8234, 9A2806-001A 17-8140. I took the covers off and although the color code is different they are wired the same to the plug. They both ohm out the same also. Do anyone here think it is safe to used the borrowed yoke in my game. I'm having a difficult time with convergence, not even close, and was thinking the yoke might be a problem.   Thanks Rich
