Title: Photos of DECO Burgertime?
Post by: rotheblog on August 11, 2009, 01:57:03 pm

Does anyone have any nice photos of a conversion kit or Burgertime that has the artwork on the woodgrain sides like it is shown in some of the flyers on Arcadeflyers.com? Or not even 'nice' photos, just photos showing one that exists in the wild?

Or photos of the true dedicated import from Japan that has what looks like a blue and orange color palette? (At least those are the colors on the kickplate)

I haven't seen any photos, checked the usual places like the Spies archive, and did a search on this site without any luck...

i doubt it, is'nt the flyer showing that installing the deco cassette system good for business because you can just pop in a new cassette, change marquee.. and have a new game?

im guessing it the side art is just generic.

It is generic.  But I still desire to see photos of one that might exist with that artwork.

Never seen one with the swirly looking colors.
And just to be clear...... all of the cabinets in the flyers originally posted are conversions.
None of those are dedicated. So I would guess that finding a cab with that swirly artwork would:   A. be a conversion     B. be hard to find actually applied

But if you want a colorful dedicated DECO deisgn........ check out the first pic.

But a more traditional dedicated DECO cab has woodgrain sides and never had side art.
(I own one like this) Seen in the second pic.

That first cabinet is awesome....love the coverage.  Thanks for sharing that.  I went back and looked at Arcade Flyers and there appears to be two DECO versions of Tomahawk 777 (http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=archive&db=videodb&name=tomahawk+777&year=&manu=&source=&submit=Search+the+Archive) as well, and both of those cabinets look really cool...which includes the one you have here.

I wonder if the other "boxier" looking machine was more of a conversion flyer?
The artwork seems real spacey, but no subby.

I do know the super colorful one is a dedicated DECO cabinet from the design of the control panel. They have a distinctly rounded bullnose front to them and there is a slot on the front of the cab they slip into and then gets bolted down on the inside of the cab.

I looked through more DE flyers around the similar year...

The other Burgertime Deco I had seen was in the cabinet that is shown as Manhattan in this flyer.  Also kind of a colorful pattern that brings the cabinet more to life than that woodgrain.

Hmmm...... I need to go look at mine again now.
Mine is VERY much the same as the one on the right in that flyer.
But mine isn't near as tall I don't think. The section that starts above the bezel is MUCH shorter. Otherwise identical cabinet. (woodgrain cab, colorful bezel)
