I may be purchasing this X-men vs Street fighter cabinet but it obviously did not start life as that, I was just curious if anyone would know just by the shape of the cab what it originally was.
Are you sure? I’m pretty sure I encountered a SF2:CE dedicated cab at one point. The control panel overlay was way to professional for it to have been done by that slack ass arcade.
I’ve always wondered exactly what that cab was. I’d love to find one.
i thought that too but when i checked it out yesterday, turned out it was just a thing hanging from his garage ceiling, so monitor is all clean and very crisp too :tup:
Well after looking at it closely, its an old atari cab from the late 80s.
It only cost me $150, so I am pretty happy either way. Works great, just needs some buttons replaced. I will most likely just replace all the controls to have a fresh set. My first arcade cabinet and i already REALLY want to pick up some more boards.
edit: found the original cab, roadblasters from atari
That is a dynamo cabinet, and it is a generic cabinet that Ops loved to put SF into. It could be considered the unofficial dedicated SF2 cab. If I were restoring a dynamo it would be my cab of choice. But also note that there were many revisions of the dynamo design with small differences.
These big blue dynamo’s are the most bad-ass american cabs ever made for fighting games. Perfect height, perfect sound, huge control panel. I’d trade my MK cab in a heartbeat for either one.
Shit, I’d take a brand new one of these over a Vewlix.
alright so I was switching out the happ buttons with some sanwas and i ran into a problem.
all the first player buttons do not work. including player 1 button. the 1st player joystick however works. all of the second player buttons and joystick work perfectly after the swap.
i even tried putting a happ back onto the quick disconnect and it wouldnt register the button use.
anyone have any idea?
edit:
also how would i go about changing the happ stick to a sanwa jlf? im not too big of a fan of happ sticks but if its a really difficult change, its not worth doing right now.
