I think it is funny you guys call them Aussie style cabs, when they are properly Japanese style cabinets.
My favorite kind is the one Centuri used to use, it had the control panel at a 45 degree angle, which was nice.

It's probably because it's the only style of cocktail we really saw down here. It's definately the only style I remember seeing, and I'm 30yrs old. ;D
So most of us equate that style with being Aussie.

You guys get the Japanese style monitors too. 14" and 20" models. We never saw those in the US except for on early imported Sega machines. All our stuff was 13" and 19".

hehe. so you see, we're always '1' up on you guys (",) . for the record, i always refer to them as 'aussie' style to show that it's not an exclusive thing. after all, i'm pretty sure the guy i got the dimensions from was in the states...
edit: but now i know, i think i will refer to them as japanese(aussie) style...

Paige, Atari "Missile Command" cocktail and possibly others in the US used 14" monitors that were "custom" made for Atari (Atari's words, not mine). Check the MC Cocktail manual. States it right there under "new parts" section. (The monitors were made by either Sanyo or Matsushita).
