Magic Sword, AFAIK, is a conversion game.  I *think* this used to be a Williams cabinet, but I'm no cabinet guru.

I don't think you're going to be able to tell exactly which game this was without seeing it in person.

With the new CPO, bezel overlay, marquee, and rearranged control configuration, it could have been just about any game.

I don't think it's a Williams cab as it doesn't have a Williams type coin door (but then again, they may at some point used over unders)

EDIT:  I was wrong just saw a Smash TV and a Joust 2 cab with over unders.  But they still didn't look like this cab.

It looks like a Stern cabinet. Probably Berzerk.

I checked out the Berzerk on KLOV. It is similar to mine but it's not it. Was some cabinents just generic? not intended for any ONE game?

Data East cab maybe?

People always have more trouble IDing converted cabinets for unpopular dedicated games.

Generic cabinets do exist, but they are usually made by Dynamo, and a few from Chinese manufacturers.
