Will update thread as this goes. Will have (hopefully) an original style (eg all metal and small) coin slot and will, like the original, have a 13" B&W CRT display. (I have had the TV on my workbench for 2 years now, ever since I got it for free from an estate sale down the street.) I have all the dimentions for the cabinet, and will make it with MDF. I am using a Sears "home pong" system that has 2 paddles. Essencially, when it's turned on via a power switch in the back, the home pong won't get power until you put a quarter in, and when the game ends, the reset button will be a NC pushbutton, and reset the entire internal power strip when pressed, forcing you to insert another quarter. I will, of course, have a secret "free play" switch somewhere on the unit, and won't tell my friends about it. 
the only semi-difficult part will be building the coin-slot circuit. I think I may just have it cut off power to the controlls until you insirt a coin, just so that the display shows the game when you first turn it on instead of "snow."
it will look like this:
I wanna finish this thing so I can put it in my room!
