Title: Help identifying cabinet
Post by: Golgo13 on November 16, 2008, 10:21:36 pm

My brother got this cab from a shop that closed down. Currently has Bubble Bobble in it. Wondering what the original game was and what the panel art is if not the original panel.

 ???

I would have said some kind of Midway cab from that first picture, that profile...weird!

Still very Midway-y.  Maybe someone cut one down.  I've seen a few like that.

can you clean off the control panel overlay and stuff so we can see it better?

Very strange profile. Probably just a generic.

looks like someone took a couple 4x8 folding tables and made a midway inspired cab.

Hmmm....must be home made then.

Any ideas on the panel art though?

Looks like there was a Midway coin door on that cabinet. What's the key number of the back door locks? Is it 1355?

This cabinet appears alot like a Midway cabinet. What does the inside view look like with the back door off it? Let's see the marquee light fixture.

An immediate impression is it's a cabaret. Maybe that'll help narrow it down?

Woodgrain finish != cabaret.  ;)
There's room for 2 players. Definitely not a cabaret.

I know, I wondered about that. No, the design and apparent overal size caused me to think that.
