Is it me, or is this weird and ugly?

Markronz, I thought it was Capcom Bowling as well. But why?!?! Gray_Area's post confirms it, but that's a lot of wasted effort hacking it that way. The marquee looks too tall and the coin door is all wrong. I think it wasn't a Capcom Bowling per se but some other cab that was converted to a Capcom Bowling. The door looks old.... like Pac-Man old.
I looked at a few cabinets and there's a few golf cabinets with similar styles from the late 70's to early 80's. Would make sense if the Capcom is a conversion, might have used the same track ball.

Just noticed what it says on KLOV:
--- Quote ---Cabinet Information
While the vast majority of Capcom Bowling cabinets are conversions, a dedicated cabinet was produced in very small quantities. The cabinet was made from birch plywood and featured larger, painted on side art. The dedicated control panel contained a larger marbled trackball and a different overlay. All the dedicated cabinets were shipped with a ticket dispenser door althtough the dispenser itself was optional.

I think this cab was a conversion from a much earlier cabinet.

Well now that kinda makes sense. You can whip that trackball and not smack your hand on the side of the cabinet like a traditional classic has.

looks like a refurbed DECO cabinet by data east....
