I posted this over @ BYOAC earlier today and got some good answers but I thought I'd try here too.
I've been looking at finally getting a Black Tiger cab which I have loved since the good old days but when doing a little research on it I ran across this:
"VAPS Arcade Census
GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY
Very Common - There are 79 known instances of Black Tiger owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, 7 of them are original dedicated machines, 11 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 61 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired."
If you notice, it says that there are 7 of these that are original dedicated machines. I've been under the impression all this time that they were a conversion kit only. Anybody here got one in an original cab?
