Title: What kind of cabinet is this?
Post by: AGGIEZ on May 27, 2015, 11:21:35 pm: Starting a new cab, first in 10 years. Bought this cab a few weeks ago. Anyone know what kind of cab this was originally? I figure if I know that it'll be easier for me to get the right sizes on my side-art when that time comes. Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, speaker area screams Konami cab to me. It looks like a Dark Adventure cab to me too.

Its the NON 4 player cab. 4 player cabs like TMNT, Xmen, Simpsons, etc had detachable control panel box.

Post by: mgb on June 05, 2015, 07:52:55 am: The thing is with sideart for that, it looks like most games that would have been in that cab, just had square like sideart on them rather than the art following the cabinet lines.
