Help identify this cab (before conversion)

<< < (2/2)

Crowquill:
My generic cab is almost just like that. Mine had Crazy Kong art on it when I bought it. The biggest difference is that mine had the monitor more upright so that it was even with the front glass. Could have been moved though considering how badly the monitor was mounted in there.

It's a generic. I have the exact same cab which I am converting to MAME. Mine was built by "Vendall" in Ottawa, Ontario.

The design of the cabinet is indeed based on "Frogger". The way you know it was not a Frogger is the color of the woodgrain (Frogger was lighter), and the very top corner on a Frogger is much more "pointy" whereas these imitation cabs have it more rounded.

Compare these: http://www.retrofx.com/arcade/images/generic_cab_jan2004.jpg

Also note how the Frogger coin door is a different shape.

But only an "expert" would know if you converted that Combatribes to a Frogger....


jcroach:
Is that real diamond plate or simulated?  Does it have a plexi cover of the diamon plate?  I was thinking about this for my cabinet.  I think it kind of looks cool.  Is diamond plate hard to work with/cut/drill?

NiN^_^NiN:
You can buy the diamond plate stuff from auto shops there is a better brand that looks very close to real than the plastic looking one just so u know  ;D
