I’d like to restore it back to original but this cab was completely stripped before the golden tee conversion Click to expand…

- kcade said: I’m trying to replicate a speaker panel but can’t tell where I should cut my speaker holes. Can you show me what the speaker panel looks like for this model of Blue (pic 1, pic 2, pic 3)?
- I’ve got width of 27”. However, I’m unclear if a portion of the wood is hidden behind the black metal bracing. I THINK the height is something like 8.317”. Is that correct? And should I cut my speaker holes in the vertical center of the wood, at something like 4.16”? I ask because, in the pictures, it appears that the speaker holes are actually in the bottom third of the panel and not centered vertically. Thanks. Click to expand…

- Thanks, @DuffCon! For the same cabinet, anyone have high-resolution scans of the control panel stickers around the joystick and the punch/kick?

- I don’t know about scans, but gameongrafix has the decals. There’s several variations, other vendors have them.

- R64 said: Same issue here. I have the original speaker grill, so I can offer the measurements for the grill and speaker box (face)
- Grill is 157mm x 118mm, box (and grill frame) is 137mm x 177mm.
- If anyone can measure the height & width (and thickness) of the speaker bezels that would be much appreciated! Click to expand…
