Those monitor pics look suspiciously like MAME screencaps, not photos at all.

And the joysitck, I can't quite put my finger on it, but something seems wrong about it...  ::)

Heh, you can tell that is a PC monitor in that thing.
Its been painted shiny black and is almost a flat screen.

Also, in the shot of the marquee, no CGA displays a pic that good. Thats definately a VGA screen.

He says nothing about the game PCB. Thats because there isn't 1!
I bet its MAME or a PC game.

The pics are snapshots from MAME.

I would bet my left nut that has a PC in it.

My favorite is the remark 'This cabinet is original to this machine.'  Wtf does that even mean?

Yeah, those look like mame screen shots, sans effects. The CP, though, is the give-away.

Look closely at the CPO. Appears wavy...kind of like an inkjet printout just held down by the bolts. :dunno

Good thing they included pics of the sideart. :dunno

Most definitely a MAME cab, might even just be a 17" monitor.

"As you can see from these MAME screenshots, the monitor is nice and bright without any burns."   :laugh2:
