I can't seem to find dimensions for this arcade game online, so I decided I would post here. I am going to most likely buy one of these and put a 19 in 1 Jamma PCB in it. I only need the width of the front of machine. How deep it is and the length from top to bottom. And, make sure it is a upright, dedicated, original cabinet. Thanks in advance!

You can't find them because it was a conversion kit game only (despite the fact that some people on Vaps list theirs as dedicated, they are wrong or misunderstand the term).
Your 3 most correct cabinet options are.
Williams cabinets (Defender / Stargate / Joust / Moon Patrol / Robotron). Most Altered Beasts I have seen have been in Williams cabinets.
Alien Syndrome (You could get an upgrade kit to upgrade a dedicated Alien Syndrome to Altered Beast).
Dynamo HS 1 or HS 2 cabinet. If you had called your local distributor back in the old days and requested a NEW Altered Beast machine then he would have slapped the kit in one of these new cabinets and told you to come pick it up.

Thanks man! That really helped me out! I figured out the one I am looking at is a Dynamo HS-1. Definitely will work out! Thanks again! ;D

Also you might want to consider the 138 in 1. It has all the 19 in 1 games plus a ton more. I just upgraded my 19 in 1 to it.
However if you do go with the 138 in 1 you will want to disable about half the games as they were sort of optimistic about what they put on there and half of them frameskip badly.

I got some good News And bad news. The good news is Thanks for that info! I might just get that 138 in 1! The bad news is the Craigslist offer with the Altered Beast that I was going to buy was actually in a different state. My phone was saying Marion Ohio. Once I got on the computer to send him the message that I was going to buy it. I saw it was in Indiana and that was too far away. :( so I'm going to post on the forums here to see if anyone has any they don't want.

There's a guy here in El Paso selling an Altered Beast board ($75) and marquee:

If you wanted me to pick it up for you and mail it, we might be able to work it out. He says he tested it, but the photos look like he used a green monitor.

Thanks for offering but I really just want a Dynamo HS cab. To slap a 19 in 1 into. But thanks for offering! :)
-
Sorry! I knew you were looking for a cab, but somehow that got shifted in my head into the idea that you wanted the board!
-
That's ok man! I understand. ;)
