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. Brett

Well, from my perspective, Brett offers the best hope of getting this cabinet
reproduced. Unlike the Jakobuds and here today, gone tomorrow sites. So it's
important that support is given to someone that will actually be able to PRODUCE
a cabinet with exacting detail and not shoot the horse before it gets out of the
stable.

Not many do, but its not impossible to find in the yellow pages someone who
does. 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.

Well, I for one don't have a CNC machine that can whip out a cabinet in two
slices in nothing flat. But I get your meaning. Open source is always good.
I've never seen an open source classic however.

The idea is to have open source files, or hosted files so anyone can make cabs
themselves and not have to buy or ship but I am sure you would be welcome to
make them for those that do not have the means to.

Hi All, new here. 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

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.

Subject: VECTOR: 6100 yoke question
Hello,
I borrowed a 6100 yoke to try on my SW cockpit 25" amp, when I got it home I
noticed the wire colors on the plug were different than the yoke that came with
game. 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
