SF2 was offered as a conversion kit only, so distributors converted existing machines to SF2, or used new Dynamo cabs. SF2CE was offered pre-installed in a Dynamo Z-back only for $5000 with no conversion kit offered until some time later or so if I recall correctly.
Most of the US coin op industry is made of dynamo cabs since the late 80's. Dynamo is an interesting company that I can't find any info on whatsoever. If you were an arcade operator/distributor and needed an empty cab, it was most likely a Dynamo. Those showcase cabs running Tekken with the wide screens are Dynamo HS-15 cabs. Dynamo makes air hockey tables. The common cut corner cab with the flat back is a dynamo HS-1 or 2 and if it's a bit wider with a 25" monitor in it, it's an HS-5 cabinet. If it has an angled back, it's a Z-back. The ones with the colored laminate on the front, bigger control panel and looks like the cabinet is made of two pieces, a top and bottom is an HS-9.
There's some great Dynamo flyers here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=65745.0
Zeppo on these boards used to work for Dynamo, perhaps he cah shed some light.
EDIT: Those flyers in the above link can be saved to your computer and opened so you can view them full size. They offer a better explaination as to the differences between the HS 1, 2, and 5
Namco:
Whoa, here's a good shot of a cab very similar to yours. Blue laminate, obviously a Dynamo cab shape distributed (fabricated?) by 3koam
Even some blueprints here:

Gatsu:
thanks for the info Namco. Now I'm a little more arcade savvy. :cheers:
