WPC Cabinets

[Spandangler]

Hey gang
Was there someone on here a few years back making new cabs?

Just picked up a water damaged corvette and the cabinet is toast.
Failing that anyone know of a link to a cad file I could give to someone for their cnc machine?

Or even better anyone got an old cabinet they wanna lose.

Hit me up. It’ll save a game. Think of the children for god sake… the children…

I wish you well in your search, I was after a WPC for about a year finding nothing! Regarding finding someone who'll CNC a cabinet.. I draw a blank with that too.
Hopefully you'll get more success in your neck of the woods. Is the Vette really un-saveable? Replacing the p1ss poor MDF base isn't too bad.

I know if I was tooled up for it, I'd CNC WPC cabinet in kit form. There was a guy over on UKVAC who was making new Video Game cabinets, not sure if he's still doing that.
If you think yours might be saveable, upload some images.

I think the chap on Uk vac was Chris Barrie designs? Or something like that i seem to remember he could reproduce old arcade cabinets in what ever material you wanted I.e. mdf or plywood? Although I don’t think he did a pinball cabinet? Might be worth giving him a shout?

Thanks Tony. I’ll look into that. Crazy. Five years ago you couldn’t give them away!!

Yep, I think that's him.



Decent ply alone in materials isn't going to be cheap but see what type of quote you get.
The factory ply was poor quality with voids everywhere mind you.... decent grade timber is usually about 3 times the money.

Is your Vette totally thrashed?

Thanks Tony. I’m actually in chat with him. He’s confident he can repair it!! So happy days. Here’s a couple of pics
