Pinot sure on the cabinet, several companies made showcase cabs.
The stickers on the tube might give a clue to the model.  There might also be a sticker somewhere on the frame, maybe on the front behind the plexiglas.

Nice score for free!  The Naomi and I/O are worth a decent amount.

I had one of those and gave it away on the free items thread a while back.  it had a label from some company in seattle or Vancouver and it was made as a generic cab.

Nice find!   :applaud:

Let me know if you decide to MAME it, I can take that Naomi off of your hands.

im starting to think that is just a generic showcase cab. as the cabs and pics i have see the cp overlay goes more to the edge. i didnt fine a mvc2 in that exact cab design but i did find a marvel vs capcom

the cpo is for MVC1 not 2 so it was MVC 1 to begin with

the cab is a dynamo HS -15 showcase      thanks for the help

Title: Re: what kind of cabinet is this??
Post by: TopJimmyCooks on January 05, 2013, 03:05:05 pm
HS-15- the vertical part under the display goes straight up and down.  yours goes back at an angle if I'm seeing right.  just like I had.  copy of the dynamo product maybe but not the same.

I had info from a label - pacific amusements, bc canada or some such.  the info was on the free items because I gave it away to member wildfire (wildfyre?) a while back.  the thread got trimmed.

the chassis that tube should use is a pentranic ch-288 that has been modified for a 33 inch tube.

it should be able to do 15k or 25k.

You could find almost anything post 1990 in these cabinets.

Was it common for arcades to put any game in these showcase cabinets? Unless my memory is just flat out wrong(probably is), I'm pretty sure I used to go to a place called Fun N Pizza that had MK3 in one of these style cabs.


Maybe I've bounced my head off the ground too many times skateboarding around that same time to remember correctly?  :dizzy:

I have one that has a shooting game in it. Mines a dynamo and they have it stamped a few times with the dynamo logo. Also the dynamo opens up in the front to access the pcb/ power supply. They are incredibly heavy and awkward to move around. I've always been curious how much the bent plexi in front of the monitor effects the accuracy of the guns, haven't had time to test with vs without. Every once in a while I'll notice a shot go way off and I think the plexi is making weird reflections  :dunno
