Title: What kind of cabs are these?
Post by: ChadTower on June 24, 2004, 10:05:13 am

I'm assuming these are conversions... what are the cabs originally?  I can't yet ID cabs by viewing them.

Buster Bros looks like a Williams Cab, most likely Joust

Hrm... if I didn't already have 500 projects in the queue, I'd grab that and make it Joust again...  any idea on the other?

Data East cabs.  Both were built by dynamo (I believe).

I beg to differ.  The Buster Bros definately looks like a converted Williams cab, even the coin door is the Williams type.  And after looking up Buster Bros on Klov, it looks like the other cab was the the type of cab Klov shows for Buster Bros.

The buster bros is definately a joust cab. Notice that under the left hole on player 1 and 2, the area is cut out. This is so the two way joystick would fit.  My control panel looks almost identical. Which reminds me, I need to get pics online.
