Title: MAME a Wheel of Fortune Game - Cabinet Identity and thoughts?
Post by: cmoses on July 24, 2008, 02:18:33 am
I have been looking for a empty cabinet or converted machine to turn into a MAME project.  I came across a Wheel of Fortune game that appears to have been converted from something else, but am not sure what.  The game is in an all black cabinet with no side art and only some generic control panel art.  The coin door is located more on the right hand side of the front and not in the middle.  There is also a door on the left side of the front of the machine, probably for board access.  Does anyone know what cabinet that could be?  Like I said, I do not know what it was, but it has already been converted at least once.  It also does not appear to have the same spinner that is show on the klov.com page.  The machine works and has a bezel and marquee.  I would probably sell those and reconfigure the cabinet to use a bigger control panel. 

I just wanted to see if anyone could help in the cabinet identity and see what the general concensus was as to this becoming a MAME project.

You should post a picture of the cabinet  first.

Yes, a picture would help identify the cab.
If you are going to sell the wheel of fortune parts, I would be interested in the marques and possibly the bezel.

That wouldn't be the one on craigslist in Austin, TX now, would it?

If so, that cab is either a Stern Berzerk or a Stern Frenzy.

That's definitely the one he's talking about.

How much are they asking? That game kit is rare. It's got a really unique large spinner that imitates the "wheel". You might be able to get good bucks for it on Ebay.
