1943? I think not. Name that cabinet.

A cabinet appears on Toronto Kijiji.
That cabinet looks familiar, but I can't put my finger on what it originally was.
It's not got 1943 in it.

Any help?
Would it be worth grabbing?

I do like how the marquee is right-aligned and screwed in... very classy.

I'm almost positive that's a tempest cab.
shame someone did that to it.
could become a very nice restoration, I'd go for it.

KLOV agrees with you.

Considering that it's a "working" 1943, I doubt that vector monitor is still in there.
That would be the most difficult part to find, I'm sure.
He also says "looking for an offer".

The marquee is pretty much garbage being screwed in.
The monitor might be good to part out. No shots of it working.
No speaker but sound works? Nice...
1943 PCBs would be good to part out.
The control panel would have to be completely redone.

It really is a shame. The only good parts left are the wood (depending on what it looks like inside), side art and coin door.

yeah the def. USED to be a tempest.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

Don't bother.  First you'd have to find a monitor and boards.   And everything else for that matter.
