Can you identify this cabinet?

[Landstander]

Knowing I was looking for a cabinet to put my MAME PC in, my wife brought home a cabinet she saw next to a dumpster (woohoo!). The cabinet had been converted to a bowling game of some sort, and had been mostly gutted before being put out by the dumpster. There are a few panels missing but otherwise it's sturdy and the sides are in great condition. The back has Atari stickers all over it, but looking through KLOV's Atari section I couldn't find any games with matching side art. Anyone recognize this?

Definitely preserve the side-art if you decide to MAME it.   Great find, by the way.

Ahh.. thank you very much! The side art was so distorted in the KLOV picture I didn't recognize it!

I definitely will keep the side art. It's in better condition than the picture shows.

I don't think it could be restored. The only parts left in it were a power supply of some sort - no tube, marquee, PCB, controls, etc.  -  it's ready for some MAME goodness.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Anything CAN be restored - See OSCAR's Centipede (re)conversion in the project announcements. http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=10;action=display;threadid=18804;start=msg157063#msg157063

It's your cab now, but I would recommend not destroying the original lines of it.

See this page for how to do it incorrectly http://home.comcast.net/~ChazMan/photo.html and Carlos Castos (and others) for how to do it right.  Sorry if I misspelled Carlos name!!!

Yeah, it is restorable, but since this was a color vector game it can be expensive and hard to restore.

The fact that it was a color vector game is exactly WHY it should happen, IMO.

Interface weirdness... sorry for multiple posts.

Where are you located with that cab?  You don't have your location in your profile.  If you're local to me, as I said above, I'll gladly trade you a decent JAMMA cab for it so I can try and bring that back to original greatness.

Hi Chad

I'm in Trinidad, Colorado. Equal distance between Denver and Santa Fe - probably farther than you'd want to come. If anybody out there really wants to come and get this cabinet I'll gladly trade it for another upright or cocktail cab.
