Title: Help Identifying the cab!!
Post by: Furry131 on June 19, 2013, 09:30:42 am

Hey guys, I was wondering if you could help me figure out what this cabinet use to be. A friend just bought it and it has Tekken Tag in it. Pretty sure that tekken tag was not the orignial to this cabinet.

I made an offer on that one, but never heard anything back. If you don't mind me asking, what'd your friend end up getting it for?

He made and offer of 250 but they guy said he had a buyer.  The buyer never showed up so the guy called my friend and they agreed on 275.  When he got there the screen whites were off and it needs a cap kit as well as some water damage on the bottom corners.  My friend was able to talk them down to 250 with the extra repairs that needs to be done.  So looks like i have some work ahead.  Showing my friend how to work on it.  This is a present for his wife and it is their first game.

I believe the cabinet pictured is just a 25" Dynamo cabinet, I don't think it went to any particular game.

The rendered UAII picture seems to be roughly based on a memory of the pictured Dynamo cabinet except with everything that is wrong with the design ramped up to 11.

I wasn't going to say anything but since Paige has waded in, I hate the over sized cabs.

I like a nice slimline. With a LCD. Some of the shapes of these old cabs.
Nothing like the original machines either.
