Cabinet Kit Purpose

The LVL23C is a flat-pack MDF kit for building a 54-inch tall cabaret arcade cabinet designed for two players. It suits hobbyists who want to assemble their own arcade shell and install a monitor, joysticks, buttons and a game system themselves. It is not suited for buyers who want a ready-to-play machine or a kit that includes electronic components.

Critical Specification

The cabinet has a 20.75-inch internal width, which dictates the maximum monitor size: up to a 19-inch square LCD or a 23-inch widescreen LCD. Choose a display that fits this width, otherwise the monitor will not mount inside the cabinet.

Assembly Practicalities

Pre-cut, routed and pre-drilled MDF panels arrive unfinished and require only wood glue and a screwdriver for basic assembly. Numbered baton supports and 36 screws are included. The kit adds no active cooling or power draw; thermals and noise depend entirely on the monitor, game system and power supply you install later.

Questions about this item

How tall is the assembled cabinet and what does that mean for player comfort?

The cabinet stands 54 inches tall, placing the control panel at a comfortable standing height for most adults during two-player sessions.

Which joystick mounting pattern do the pre-drilled holes follow and what does that limit?

Holes are drilled for the Sanwa JLF/JLW pattern, so only joysticks sharing that 4-hole spacing will bolt on without modification.

What is the maximum monitor size the cabinet can hold and how is it mounted?

It accepts up to a 19-inch square or 23-inch widescreen LCD via VESA screws, with 20.75 inches of internal width for horizontal adjustment.
