Anyone ever hear of a Dynamo HS-7 Cabinet?
« on: July 15, 2016, 10:28:19 pm »
Hello all; I'm looking for any and all info on the Dynamo HS 7 Cabinet...particularly looking at things like screen size and such; as well as control panel plans. I'm guessing this is one of those JAMMA deals though where it could be basically any game EVER...But any info on what this beast origionally looked like would be nice since I know this one's been hacked up a bit. (Missing control panel, no marquee...) I have no idea what's what on it.

Thanks in advance! I can provide pics if necessary :D

I believe my cab is a dynamo, Hope you have the speaker covers, they are curved to match the cabinet, if you need some quick measurements let me know

That's a great resource that I hadn't seen before.  :cheers:

Having said that, it is missing the HS-6 series (Dynamo's cocktail series ... turns out my first MAME box used one as a donor), so perhaps there is an elusive HS-7 series out there somewhere.

Not that it matters -- a cabinet shell is a cabinet shell. Pics or we can't say much.

I have a Dynamo shell... I believe it's an HS-5  but am not entirely sure.   Unfortunately I cannot see what is posted at the dr zero site so it maybe the same manual that I have (the security filters my work PC are blocking it).  The title of the manual is "Universal Video Hardware System" and it has diagrams, wiring schematics, etc.  but no measurements.  I can manually measure as well but thumbing through the manual it seems these were standard cabinets with standard control panels designed to be adopted for custom use (for example, there are instructions on horizontal vs vertical monitor mounting, cutting the marquee to size, drilling the CP, etc.)

Mine had a 25" monitor.  The control panel has hook hinges at the top, and a long hinge along on the bottom that allows you to swivel it down once you unhook the top to get into the area behind the CP.  The CP itself is mounted to a large square piece of removable 1/2" thick plywood that is mounted inside the cabinet at an angle.
