Oddly enough it looks like it most recently housed a much older game. Capcom Bowling.

Maybe so....

I assumed from the bare wood that he had already started converting the CP for a mame project, but you could be right.

If it came like that, I wouldn't be surprised if it hadn't been converted to a Golden Tee of some kind.  Button layout looks similar.

Umm, we already answered this question in the "main" forum.
Didn't like our answer?

OK Berlin, just to be fair to you.. it must be coincidence then. Someone a couple days before you asked the exact same question, with the exact same photo.

The cabinet is a generic Dynamo.

I was just going to say that.

In fairness, the poster in the mains did mention he saw it for sale and wondered what it was, while this poster may have actually bought it.

Either way, in case you haven't found the original posting berlincam, this cabinet may have never hosted the games I mentioned, even though the cabinet was the same.  The cabinet was marketed by Dynamo as their "Big Boy" and was undoubtedly used for many games back then.
