I'm doing my own custom Pinball machine:
Star Trek: The Mirror Universe pinball
http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=256447

Anyway; I have some Bally Star Trek's in storage; but I really don't want to "destroy" a good BST cabinet for my custom dohicky.

I'm thinking I want to build from scratch and have access to Techshop.ws's Shopbot. I going to want to do the cab and the head with a custom stencil job.

Would anyone have some accurate Pinball cabinet plans I can start with?

That's a lot of work you don't really need to do. Plus, you would not
have all the associated metal trim and hardware. There are a number of
crappy Bally SS games from that era that can typically be had for a
reasonable price. Games like Super Sonic and Black Jack come to mind.
Then there are plenty of games from that era that got played to death
and the playfields are in bad shape and probably won't justify a $600
reproduction. Check the For Sale ads on Mr. Pinball Classifieds for
something in your area. Or post your location and maybe someone has a
"project" to sell.

Zitt, I wouldn't worry about it. Plenty of games from the 70's you can use. I have a couple of cabinets that will probably work. I have a Mystic that I think we can work a very cheap deal on here. Shoot me an email.
