Ring King, or not?

Hammerfist:
Found this from the Internets. So it is an original cab. Just that it's not working, but I'm in the process of finding out why.

Seems that the angle of the monitor can be changed. Not bad! But like the name says, it is a bigger cab @ 73" tall.

That isn't particularly tall. Most full size classic era cabinets are within an inch or so of 6' (72").

Yeah, very true. My current project cab is just one of the smaller ones, so I hadn't thought about it really :). More "small apartment" friendly, that is.
Gray_Area:
I thought it might be original. UK/Euro art was pretty campy. In fact, the CP and bezel art look a lot like other UK/Euro retro dscabs I've seen.

:) My friend likes the art, I really don't :P. It's just that the wiring isn't Jamma. I know that Ring King is Data East -wiring, but it seemed that they had made an adapter. Then last night I checked the adapter more thoroughly and even though it is Jamma-compatible size wise, the wiring is all wrong. I found a blog, where someone had the same cab and went trough it. Reference from there "The cab is natively wired for Electrocoin, something which is apparently fairly uncommon as most Mk3 cabs were wired for Jamma." (http://www.insertcoin.org.uk/).
