ID these conversions...
« on: October 21, 2004, 04:55:49 pm »
I was at a local garage and saw some conversions that were clearly Atari cabs.  I could see the Atari serial plate on the back of them.  I don't have pics and haven't been able to find anything like them on klov.

They were shaped a lot like Major Havocs but bigger.  They had that same box on top of a small pedestal with a base slightly wider than the top box.  Half of the top of the base was covered in what looked like metal speaker grille.

I know it's vague, but anyone have any suggestions?  I could probably get them pretty cheap.

No, but you've got the right idea.  The ones I saw had narrow necks between the base and monitor, though.

I, Robot actually is the Major Havoc cab AFAIK.

Xybots is the closest I've seen so far.  I'll have to take a pic when I go back tomorrow.

I left Xenophobe off the list because it's a Bally/Midway product, and he said he saw an Atari s/n plate.

What the...?  Xenophobe looks like it!  I swear to GOD there was an Atari serial plate on the back of the one I looked at.

That one, IIRC, had been converted to Badlands.  Maybe for some weird reason they moved the serial plate too.

I took a closer look.  The one I looked at DID have Atari serial plates and stickers and ALSO had Midway artwork on the side.  It was in fact a Xenophobe.

Why the hell would it have Atari serials on it?

Atari put serial number plates in their conversion kits too!
