Hey guys, I was wondering if the Gravitar/Black Widow cabinet was the same as Quantum. I am planning on building one because science and atoms are cool to me and the game looks really fun from the mame videos I have seen. I can't find dimensions and I don't want to pay DPtwiz $800, so if I could convert a cab that would be cool (a beat up non-working one of course!). I hope I'm not copying John too much, but I can't help myself.

Yes they look almost identical. That would be a good conversion. Look for one of those cabs.

I'll keep my eye out. Tell me if you see one for sale in Colorado in non-working condition ;)

They are not the same. The Space Duel cabinet is more like the Quantum and DPTwiz sells the wood to convert Space Duel to the same Quantum.

if it looks very close, and you are concerned about doing it on the cheap, you may be able to save a cabinet that would otherwise be destroyed.
