I've not even opened her up so I dunno.

EDIT: Don't think so.  I think that CPO is the conversion CPO...right?

There were no dedicated SFII WW machines. Those were all sold as a kit. There may have been some unofficial completed machines sold by distributors in which they pre-installed the conversion kit into a new Dynamo or whatever.

That cabinet is a Dynamo HS-5, which is a 25" monitor cabinet, and the SFII WW kit was designed for 19" cabinets. That's why you can see that the bottom parts of the portraits in the artwork have been cropped off, as well as the top parts of the instructions on the bottom of the bezel. On the uncut SFII WW bezel, there is an inch or two to spare below the portraits and above the instructions.

Edit: What I don't understand is how everything is wide enough to fit (the bezel, CPO, and marquee). Maybe a 25" version of the kit was made as well.

Edit 2: BTW, how much would you sell that machine for?
CheffoJeffo:
Dedicated is the new indestructable!  ;)

So what cab is this?



I thought this was the "dedicated" SFIICE.
TPB:

I purchased a Street Fighter Zero 2 cabinet.

I believe it's called Street Fighter Alpha 2 in the U.S.

It's nothing fancy ... the cab is quite generic looking :





It's is good condition for its age, although I suspect the monitor's on the way out.  When you power it up, it takes about 40 minutes before the picture appears.  That's a lot of heat to warm up.  But if it's then powered off & straight back on again, the picture instantly appears, as the tube's still warm.

The coin mech wasn't included.  However, it does have the solid steel cash box inside, plus the coin mech's "face plate".

I love the sound.  It's got great stereo sound that pumps out of the speakers.

I also love the sheer weight and size of the cab.  It's solid as a sock.

Those two factors I love the most (the sound and the size), are the same factors that drive my wife nuts !!

I paid $500 AUD, which is about $400 U.S.  I was probably ripped off.  I'm no expert on cabs.  But in my part of the world, there's not a lot of cabs to choose from, and even fewer within "driving distance" of home to go and pick it up.

Malenko:
400 USD for that isnt bad. sounds like a dry solder joint in the monitor, very fixable. You've got a CPS2 system so you can swap "A" boards and put games like XmenvsSF, Marvel Super Heroes, Super SFII(turbo), etc relatively cheaply. Also, that looks like a midway cab but some of the dimensions look off, it might just be a clone cab
