Hi everyone, I’d like to make a new cabinet for a 1967 Gottlieb wedgehead (this one’s called #Melody) and it seems that one of the trickiest parts will be getting the front panel right with all the precision cuts and grooves. A friend of mine has a CNC but he’s never tried something like this so I was wondering if anyone has given this a shot with an old EM, and/or whether anyone might have created a CAD/CAM file that I could buy or use. I‘m semi-handy and figure I could try to mill one up using traditional woodworking techniques but thought I’d see if anyone has any tips or experience with the CNC route.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
