Quoted from Walamab:Yes, I am scratch building an HS2. The only piece of data that I don't have for the cabinet is the location of the pivot nuts on each side of the cab.
The earliest HS2 units have only a single playfield pivot nut like TAF. The "newer" ones use the slides that let you pull the playfield forward and lock it in place so the back of the playfield can be more easily reached.
The "slide" version uses two pivot nuts on each side. I need to know where to drill these four holes in the cabinet.
Hopefully this provides some context to my question.
Thanks for reading and responding!
Walamab,
I think I now know what you are referring to when you say pivot nuts. From the outside of the pb cabinet they look like plain headed bolts (like carriage bolts look). I believe I have the 2nd version of The Getaway, which has the Diamond Plate pf, and 4 of the pivot nuts (2 on each side). I measured the locations on the outside of the cabinet and tried to hold the measuring tape square to the bottom edge of the cab. for the vertical dimensions, and square to the back edge for the horizontal dimensions. Amazingly, the dimensions on both sides of the cab. were identical (which one would hope they would be). The following measurements were taken from the bottom edge, outside of the cabinet, and back edge, outside of the cab. to the center of the pivot nut heads:
Lower pivot nuts (which are closer to the front of the game) are: 12 7/8" from bot. (horizontal) edge of cab.; 23" from back (vertical) edge of cab.
Upper pivot nuts (which are closer to the back of the game) are: 14 7/32" from bot.; 19 1/4" from back.
The pics should help explain where the measurements were taken from if my description is confusing.
I am a retired civil engineer, and have had much experience taking measurements of many different things during my career, and realize the importance of getting measurements right before passing them on to others.
I did repeat every measurement several times to make sure of the numbers, but if I were you, I would confirm the above dimensions with another independent person with a 2nd Getaway game before you drill any holes.
