Okay, here you go, spread out over the next few posts since I can only have 8 pics per post. Probably way more than you wanted but I figure better have too many than not enough.
Here's also a few quick notes.
I'm pretty sure the game board does work, though again I can't be 100% sure since I can't see it play on screen. But I can trip the coin mechs, press the player buttons, and hear music and shooting noises as I press the Fire button, and every now and then as I'm spinning the stick and firing I hear a voice say "Got him" or something like that (can't remember for sure).
Obviously some wear and tear on the cabinet overall.
The marquee is obviously missing. The fluorescent fixture behind it is missing the bulb, and there's a wire loose to it. It does have the lower "L" bracket for securing a marquee though (you'll see it laying along the right side bottom in the shot of the open front that shows the power supply and game board.)
Artwork on the right side of the cabinet appears flawless, but artwork on the left side has obviously had part of the edges scraped off.
Dirt and discoloration seen in the control panel closeups is under the plexiglass.
There's no cam lock on the front. I wedged a tiny piece of wood along side the coin door to keep it closed to take the front picture.
The big bolt on the lower front is where I suppose you'd put a padlock and opens into the area, and contains plastic canisters, where the coins fall into.

More closeup pics.
The artwork around the monitor under the tinted plexiglass is in pretty good shape, though maybe a bit faded.
Monitor has some obvious burn-in.
The game board itself looks very clean.
Includes Installation manual.
On the monitor, I had never opened the back of the cabinet before today (since all I was interested in was the sticks) and I discovered that obviously the board that sticks on the back of the tube, isn't. I'm half tempted to plug it in and see what happens. It couldn't be that simple. I highly doubt it.
Note that the coin mech picture is upside down because it's on a door hinged at the bottom and swung down in the open position to reveal the power supply and game board.

Ok, that is a Sega convertacab. The game kit installer botched the installation of the kit by forcing one player to play with the incorrect hand. Game was probably a Zaxxon, I can see a serial sticker in one of your pictures but it isn't clear enough for me to read.
Go ahead and put that neckboard back on and try firing up the game. You have nothing to loose.

memories, that is so exact what i had (my 3rd machine ever) in the early mid 90's I would swear its my old machine. Same cab, same conversion. I cant remember if mine was a Zaxxon or a Congo Bongo (as Paige mentioned). Wish i had never sold it (or any of the other machines). Actually not to bad a game, one of the easier ones to MASTER, and not the Best of the rotary games (i still like Heavy barrel the most) but it was fun and the differnt time periods at least made it slightly interesting. I know I played the crap out of mine. Thanks for the shots.
