Looks like it could be made with a little work.

By the way, your cabinet looks great! Wish mine did!

Thanks so much!!
Mystery solved.
My BC is from an arcade in Gt Yarmouth but it was never put on site just in storage dont know why no latch mechanism is on it. Not sure what the correct colour cabinet should be
Could you possible give me dimensions and I will try making one.
We have 4 Cats and love them to bits. Are you from UK?

No, but would love to live there some day. I'll try to get some time in the next couple of days to remove and scan it with measurements and send that to you.

#7 10 years ago

That would be so kind of you.
Yes UK is good when it's not raining.
Scaning is a good idea. Where did you get your Bad Cats from?

Atlanta Pin Swap this year. Just found out the nickname for it was Sad Cats because of its condition. It has a really crappy excuse for a translite. I have a Backglass on the way and can't wait for ramps to be remade.

Sound like it's in good hands.
The ramps are due to be made in
October this year...will be getting a Spare
set for sure. Big pinball event in UK soon over in
Daventry 9/10/11AUG. Went last year and found out what a hoot
Bad Cats is. Wish there were more pins in public areas like cafes
And Bars.

My wife and I have gone to a bar we particularly love in the West End, The Queens Head on Tryon Street. Haven't been much outside of London when we go but sometime would like to spend a lot more time out and about in the UK.

Some great Victorian shops in the North. Just at Southport today a pot of tea then off to hunt down a pintable. Think I will use Alloy to cut the latch from as it easier to shape. You sure look to come from an area full of national parks very envious.

Hi fellow Bad Cat or system 11 owners... I got an alloy plate 3mm thick and 4inch by 4 inch today. I just need a scan of the back box latch plate so I can cut it and file to shape. Would be really grateful if anyone can do this for me as its the final job I have to complete my Bad Cats pinball.
Its the plate in the back-box that attaches to the lock with the angled cut-out, if someone can put it on there scanner and post a picture (not scaled to fit page) if possible.

Anyone able to help Please:-!

#14 10 years ago

I'd help if I had the part, but my Cyclone is missing it too. The parts catalogs on Planetary's site show the plate. Maybe you can get a good enough approximation there?

I was going to ask if you wanted to make two and ship one to the US for me, but looks like maybe the Bad Cats plate differs from the Cyclone plate.

A few people on Pinside have asked for this part before.

#15 10 years ago

Yes could make 2 but from a scan of the plate.
Saw the catalogue pics but it's at an angle and impossible to guess size.
Diner,Fire Bk2000,all have these plates.Come On guys :*),

Sorry I haven't had a chance to get to this. Promise to see if my scanner works and if it does will get a scan up asap.
