Info about Pop'n Music arcade cabinets

[Cedge]

I'm formulating some early plans to replicate a Pop'n Music AC cab. I can design and build the thing on my own, going from pictures of the cabs I've seen, but if possible, I want to get this thing as close to arcade specs as possible. So, I'm looking for all sorts of physical specifics about PNM cabinets, specifically, the boxier wooden variety (pic here), rather than the rounded plastic variety (seen here), as these would be impossible for me to replicate with any accuracy (I don't have a plastic fabrication facility on me at the moment).

What I really need are diagrams, or at least decent photos, marked up with all of the major dimensions and proportions for these cabinets. How far the controls are from the floor, how wide the cabs are, what angle the monitors sit at, et cetera. All those sorts of details.

Aside from dimension references, if anyone could point me to some detailed sets of photos of any of the cabs, especially with close-ups, that would be nice. I know what they look like from the countless photos that I have seen, but I've never actually encountered any non-DDR Bemani cabs in the wild, so I don't have much or a reference for the minute details. A detailed set would be very helpful.

I'm not sure how applicable this will be to what you're doing, but you might want to drop by the boards at BYOAC. There aren't that many people interested in Bemani specifically, but you'll probably find them very helpful for hardware questions, etc. And you can try asking there for diagrams - you never know.

Yeah, BYOAC is an awesome site; I've been visiting it for several years, and it's really helpful.

I think Bemani-related stuff has come up there once or twice...it couldn't hurt to ask there, too, I suppose. I may try that. Thanks.
