Title: What was this originally?

All I know is it a Sega cab converted after 1989. Any Ideas?

Are you sure it was a Sega cab?  Looks like an Atari cab.  Blasteroids maybe?  Or Marble Madness/Indy Jones/Road Blasters etc.

Not a System I cab, no. Apparently not Blasteroids, either. (Why is klov not showing up in at least the first page of google results lately??) It doesn't look remarkable. Not a dynamo but perhaps something in the same vein?

Well, the seller said it was a "Sega WWF Superstars" Cabinet, but WWF Superstars was made by Technos. I figured that their was some sort of a plate or something on the cab that said Sega. The sale is over now so I guess I can reveal the auction (as if someone was gonna buy it out from under me...)

Here (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350101536571&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.com%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm38%26_nkw%3D350101536571%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1)

There looks to be a plate on the back and I thought it looked Atari-ish, but it could really be anything. Bally and Nintendo made ID plates like that so I have no idea. It must not be anything worth messing with if  its not a recognizable game.

EDIT: Damn my url coding skillz...
