Plus it has 2 dual entry coin doors. Looks kinda weird on a 2 player game.

Lets assume they were horribly, irreparably damaged and leave it at that.

I'd swear it was a four player game at one time, like NBA Jam or something and the control panel has been cut down. Player 2 controls are angled like it would normally be on the end of a four player panel, but why Player one joystick is up where it is I have no idea.
But that would account for it having four coin slots.  :dunno

Not a horrible looking cab.... just odd enough to need changing. (still not worth $400)

Typical chop shop style operation.
Seems they strip more than they build.
Sad to say but it's all too common now for people to make more money off the parts than to restore the entire cab and then sell it.
(I personally do not like it, but whatcha gonna do)

That is exactly what I am thinking. My initial reaction is that the cab used to be a TMNT cab. The left joystick and button layout are almost in the right places for a cut down CP. Not quite though.

If that is a cut down CP, that is an awful lot of work. All that cutting, shaping, and drilling. If the operator was going to be a bastard about it, it would've been far easier to reuse as many holes, drill new holes and cap the rest with a sticker and a sheet of plexi.
