Title: The Big Cabinet ID Thread
Post by: horseboy on March 16, 2007, 01:36:53 pm
Ok, so it isn't a big thread...yet. I figured maybe we could streamline some of these cab ID threads.


Anyhow, here is mine. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Mortal-Combat-Arcade-Coin-Op-NR_W0QQitemZ220091228167QQcategoryZ13716QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

I have the exact same cab in my garage but with white side's and capcom sticker side art and it had a neo-geo mvs system inside when I got it.

not sure what this thread is suposed to mean though so if it was irrelavent I apoligize..

It is to identify what this cab was originally. So, that is relevant, but I don't think it is a Neo Geo.

That is a generic Dynamo cabinet.

ahh I see I will go knock the dust off it and see if I can find anything on the inside I think i recall some stickers but I will check it out I am pretty sure it was a non dedicted becuase it had a neo-geo mvs and the capcom stickers for side art.

also I noticed in your picture that one had a wood bezel and look's like a 19" where mine had a cardboard/paper bezel and a 25" WG k-7191 monitor.

I checked and did not see anything but a churchill stamp in paint in the inside but I have no clue what the even was or means and the monitor I have from it is a 1993 model other then that I cant say much more then I have the same really.

would the lamp assembly have any clue's that old thing looked original.

I was thinking the same as frizzlefried but I was unsure of what it was for sure when I first got it home as a complete neo-geo set-up.

Well from the side profile it does look alot like a Neo Geo.  Very simular to mine, but not exact, but they did make a number of variations of those cabs.

I used to have that Neo Geo and a Dynamo next to each other... they are almost identical but not quite.  Of course, it doesn't really matter which it is, as their weight and dimensions are the same, they're both JAMMA, and neither has any particular classic value.
