My mini cab is not finished and I already plans to build bigger one;) This time I would like to keep the proportions of Medieval Madness cab. There is PDF with Williams standard body dimensions on the net and I would like to know if these dimensions are dimensions like MM cab or maybe they are the dimensions of the older Williams pinballs? I found on the other site dimensions of the Creature from black lagoon cab and I wonder do it have the same dimensions like MM and AFM cabs?

Don't know if that helps too much, but here are the playfield dimensions listed: https://sourceforge....nDialog.cpp#l12

Without a pointer to the specific plans you're talking about, it's going to be hard for anyone to say for sure what they represent.

 

Generally speaking, though, the Williams cab desgins were very uniform from about 1990 onward, and before that they used a very slightly different uniform design throughout the 1980s.  If the plans you've seen claim to be Williams standard-body plans, and assuming they're accurate, they're probably replicas of either the 1980s or 1990s+ design.  You should be able to tell which is which by looking at the shape of the side walls.  It they're simple trapezoids, they're the 1980s plans.  If they have an angle in the top edge near the back that forms a little ledge for the backbox, they're the 1990s plans (which is what MM and AFM use).

 

One warning: I've seen several of these plans on the Web, and I'm not sure any of them are quite exact replicas, so you might want to grab a tape measure and track down a real machine to sanity-check whatever you find.

Those look close, but they're not an exact replica.  The arrangement of the rear shelf, at least, isn't quite accurate.

I have to find the owner of MM, AFM cab

[randr]

I own both whatcha need? Fairly sure they are same cabs

[chokeee]

I need all dimensions (metric system if it is possible )

 

[chokeee]

not sure if "A" dimension is exactly the same as backbox side wall bottom. If it isnt please give me that dimension too. thanks.

I know on the plans I have seen and how I built my cabinet that the backbox side wall bottom is smaller than "A" 

 

I believe it is this way to allow the backbox to fold down on the hinges for transport.

 

"A" for me is 7" (177.8mm)  Backbox side wall bottom is 6.5" (165.1mm)

I'm almost 100 percent certain all wpc backboxes are same even wide body are same as standard.
