    Default !!UPDATE!! ATTN Arcade Experts: Need help IDing a cabinet...

    I won this on eBay this morning:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=13716&rd=1

    I'd like to convert this back to whatever game it was originally...

    I know the current game is Ninja Gaiden ( :P ), but does anyone have any idea of what it used to be? It's obviously not an original Ninja Gaiden cabinet, seeing how the marquee looks to have been sawed down to fit. I've read of people having Ninja Gaiden in converted Joust, RoboTron (about 5), Karate Champ and Moon Patrol cabinets, but this one looks nothing like those four's original cabs, none of those seem to have those three speaker "vents" above the screen.

    You think this is just a basic jamma cabinet? I know very little about arcade games as you can see. Contacting the seller was no help...

    I don't recognize it from the front, but if you can get some side shots of it I might be able to help.

    I haven't picked it up yet, but both sides are supposedly completely black.

    I finally got around to picking this up, and it turns out that it's a Wizard of Wor cabinet. Apparently the previous owner, who was an arcade owner, converted it to Galaga and painted the cabinet black. The Galaga "Game Over" screen is burned into the monitor, which doesn't seem to work anymore. :/ Later it was converted into Ninja Gaiden.

    Needless to say, this thing needs ALOT of work. I'll post pictures if anyone wants them.
