I was at a local garage and saw some conversions that were clearly Atari cabs. I could see the Atari serial plate on the back of them. I don't have pics and haven't been able to find anything like them on klov.
They were shaped a lot like Major Havocs but bigger. They had that same box on top of a small pedestal with a base slightly wider than the top box. Half of the top of the base was covered in what looked like metal speaker grille.
I know it's vague, but anyone have any suggestions? I could probably get them pretty cheap.

720?
-
No, but you've got the right idea. The ones I saw had narrow necks between the base and monitor, though.
-
Hrm... could be Vindicators.

The ones not previously mentioned, that I can think of at the moment, are:
Xybots
I, Robot

I, Robot actually is the Major Havoc cab AFAIK.
Xybots is the closest I've seen so far. I'll have to take a pic when I go back tomorrow.

Xenophobe, maybe.
-
I left Xenophobe off the list because it's a Bally/Midway product, and he said he saw an Atari s/n plate.
-
Blasteroids ?
-
What the...? Xenophobe looks like it! I swear to GOD there was an Atari serial plate on the back of the one I looked at.
That one, IIRC, had been converted to Badlands. Maybe for some weird reason they moved the serial plate too.
-
I took a closer look. The one I looked at DID have Atari serial plates and stickers and ALSO had Midway artwork on the side. It was in fact a Xenophobe.
Why the hell would it have Atari serials on it?

Ha, take THAT! ;D

Atari put serial number plates in their conversion kits too!
