Have you ever seen a converted WACKO?
« on: May 07, 2007, 02:20:01 pm »
I was just thinking about classic conversions, and wondered, has any operator been so desperate as to convert a Wacko??

To those of you who don't know, the Wacko cabinet is slanted. Slanted control panel, and slanted marquee. It looks odd, but fits the game's name. However, sticking some other serious game in there just wouldn't look right....
NO MORE!!

I believe Texas is full of converted wackos.

What does that have to do with an arcade game?

Probably the smart move if he didn't have storage room. Maybe even if he did.
Brevity is not my strong suit.

Seems like I saw a pic of one that'd been converted posted on KLOV once upon a time, but I've never seen one in person.
