By the way, the "Street Fighter 3" sticker on the back, along with the SF2:CE bezel and CPO means that this was a dedicated, from the factory SF2:CE cabinet. When Capcom outsourced the building of the cabinets to Dynamo, Dynamo only knew that it was a sequel to Street Fighter 2, so they intuitively put "Street Fighter 3" on the back stickers. So you have yourself a dedicated, SF2:CE cabinet!

Well how about that, learn something new every day! I am probably going to just get 2 marquees printed up, 1 SF2CE and a custom one for the darksoft. This cab was the only non dedicated one I owned, but now I guess they are technically all dedicated cabs :p

--- Quote from: Jdurg on January 07, 2016, 06:44:37 pm ---I'm actually doing the same thing. I have a SF2:CE board and artwork that I plan to put into a Dynamo HS-5 that I'm trying to build. I got the metal CP from E-Bay, and when I was taking the artwork off, I saw that it was originally a SF2:CE as well. in addition, I've got a Darksoft Multi-CPS2 kit that I will also be putting in the cab. Sadly, the work on the game(s) hasn't resumed since my flyback blew right around X-Mas, and when it did, the sudden thermal shock from the HV Discharge caused a hairline crack in the neck of the tube to fully open, thus killing the CRT. I'm awaiting a replacement tube, but in the meantime am trying to get some of the physical cabinet built. I've got the drawer, the marquee light, power supply, control panel, drawer latches, CP latches, and the square base that everything sits on already built. i just need to get measurements for the rest of the physical cab so I can built it. So if you feel like taking some good measurements so that plans can be made to reproduce the cab from scratch, you'd be doing the arcade community a HUGE favor. Mostly because like Good Ole' Area 51, everybody knows it exists but nobody has any information about it. ;D

Yeah I can measure everything, thats not a problem. Ironically enough, I have an area 51 (well, Maximum force 2 in 1) too :)

If I may quote two very insightful individuals:

quick and dirty photoshop, thinking about doing this:

reptileink:
Yellow and blue are always a nice combination (my old catholic elementary school colors)! However, a matte gold T-molding would look pretty sharp with a darker blue instead of the standard yellow and blue mix.

Ahh... A swedish cab! ;D (Look up the swedish flag)
