Suggestions for StreetFighter II Turbo Cab
TheGameFan:
Here you go, the closest to dedicated that you will find:

that's not dedicated, that's a kit. the most common kit cabs were the dynamo 'z-back' cabs, but there /were/ sf II CE dedicated cabs for a short while (although you 're talking about turbo, not ce). The old 'big blue' cabs were dedicated CE cabs at first, I have one myself actually. Let me see if I can dig up some pics...
here's a few, but not the best...

I believe these were later repurposed for a lot of cps2 games.

these were definitely the most common SFII CE kits, and I think they were also usually used for turbo as well, since if I recall correctly turbo just came as a rom upgrade w/ new marquee. I have a few friends that have SFII turbo w/ this cab

I didn't know that. I thought the big blues were newer.
I've seen a big blue SF2 CE before, but I figured it was retrofitted to SF2 from Alpha or something.

Well, I know for sure these came out at the time of CE- I actually had one of these at my local arcade. But whether or not you call them 'dedicated' may be a fine line...they aren't as dedicated as like a MKII machine that has art painted directly on it,haha. And they were eventually used with other games later. But whenever 'dedicated' sfII CE cab is discussed, the big blue is usually what they are talking about. I don't know 100% but what I remember hearing was that the blue one came out first, and when they saw how popular it was they started doing the kits because they were easier/faster.
morzy-
the 2 pics you posted above look like hybrids...the top one is a world warrior with turbo marquee, and the bottom one is a SF I with ce marquee...crazy, haha.

I recommend a "big blue"
These are considered the supreme wooden cabs for Street Fighter.
