Title: Info about cabinet
Post by: jimmy_woods on October 02, 2015, 06:16:31 am

Hi users
I'm new in the forum, and I've recently purchased arcade cabinet  :D
Could you help with information about the cabinet.
What kind of cabinet it is, which is standard and similar.

Here's a pictures:

Welcome aboard, Jimmy_woods.   ;D

Not sure what type of cab that was before somebody did the X-in-1 conversion on it.   :dunno

Have you looked inside the rear door for original identification plates/documents?

The joystick handles are unusually-shaped -- didn't see anything similar on Kowal's joystick page here (http://www.kowal.itcom.pl/ArcadeParts_pliki/eapJOY.htm).   :dizzy:

This might not sound like a great answer, but the answer is "It doesn't matter". While I can't ID that cabinet I can say with 100 percent certainty that it isn't anything classic, desirable or important.

I guess it's some of kind standard JAMMA cabinet?

I don't recognize the cab, either, but pretty sure it's just another generic JAMMA - possibly a one-off built by someone. Those joysticks are pretty common on JAMMA cabs (in UK, at least) - I have a set on a cab I recently bought. No-one seems to know much about them (I've tried in the past), even who made them. They are actually really nice sticks to use, though.

[edit] just saw there's some kind of serial/version number stamped on the back, so unlikely it's a one-off build. Oh, and the style of cab is known as 'Lordsvale'.

The button layout looks like a madman did it, which leads me to believe this might have been a console cabinet from the start.
