Just buy it for the mame factor alone. Forget the fact that it has a turtles game in it.. the cab just screams MAME me.

Nowhere close to the worst conversion ever. About a month ago, I saw pcis from an auction of a "dedicated" Centipede with a joystick in it. Also saw pics of a Star Wars turned into some godawful generic fighter game, but all the Star Wars artwork left on it.
All thats jarring on this thing here is the art. Paint over the motorcycle and it's just a big black cab with a fat, ugly control panel.

You use a tube rejuvenator.

OK, now you're messing with me!

Yup, a rejuvenator.
The english just sounds wrong if you read it too fast.....

Not to be confused with a Governator. That's that politician in California that used to be a big muscle-bound actor.

Half way down is the Star Wars converted to a Turtles In Time game

How about this:
ebay auction (http://cgi.ebay.com/Mortal-Kombat-2-Arcade-Game-in-MN-works-Fun_W0QQitemZ230004463155QQihZ013QQcategoryZ13716QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
a defender cab converted into a mortal kombat 2
-
That's actually a pretty good quality conversion...but couldn't they have used a dynamo?
-
Obviously the box on the front of the WGP cab is ugly, what I'm wondering is how tall that cabinet is (and how tall the CP is) since it was originally a sit-down cabinet.

Star Wars converted to anything is a travesty and just plain stupid. You'd think that if anyone was trying to convert it to anything they'd do a racing game or something.
The Defender is pretty well done. Why should an op spend money on a Dynamo cab when they had an old Defender cab sitting in the corner that they can't make money with anymore? Williams cabs seem to have been the most favored as conversions go. They were plentiful, had horizontal monitors, and control panels that were easy to modify.
One of the best collections of conversion pics I've seen (make sure you 'click here'):

The MK in the defender was a fairly decent conversion. I did find another one (another MK nonetheless) in what looks like a tron cab, but i could be wrong. Either way, i think it looks like crap.

Boy, this thread rings a bell with me ! The last load of crappy conversions that came into our shop included:
Track 'n Field -> Wrestlefest
Pac Man -> Heavy Barrel
Pac Man -> Kageki
Pac Man -> Gals Panic
Defender -> Vigilante
Tron -> Dodge Ball (Of the horror of that one)
Donkey Kong Jr. -> Wrestle War
*Sigh*... I think I'm gonna barf now....

I've personally NEVER come across those cabs at auctions!

Never being an absolute purist, I never understood this one....
Not the Indy, the one to the right.
I don't think my wrists could take the abuse...
