Cab styles you don't see people make very often. - Poll added.

If someone ever makes a good discrete/analog game emulator, it would be so cool to build a cabinet like one of these for it.

paigeoliver:
Most of the discrete games are so incredibly simple that anyone with functional graphical programming skills could copy them if they could spend a little bit of time with a working unit in order to get all the details.

ChadTower:

In theory, yes, but getting the exact timing done perfectly would be a biiiiiiiiiiiiitch as those discrete components don't act perfectly within their specs.  They vary quite a bit amongst themselves within their range and then can vary by age.  That's why you can get Pong machines with identical PCBs that act "differently" within the game.  A lot of emulation depends on the strong timing of a CPU based architecture and that isn't there in those boards.

It was mentioned above, too, that a lot of those panels are brushed aluminum.  Stainless steel is very expensive and heavy.

This thing looks neat
in an old sci-fi kinda way.
Too bad I don't have the skill to
reproduce a cab like this one.
