I recently aquired Cal .50, which is a kit game. Its installed in a Sterns cabinet, but the cabinet doesnt fit the bezel or control panel art properly. Because of this, whoever installed it cut out the yellow instruction sections from the bezel and taped them to the back of the glass and installed white posterboard for the bezel. Same goes for the CP, as it was originally designed for wrap around the CP. The Sterns doesn't wrap, its flat. I am currently looking for both of these items as the bezel is not there, and the CP is faded. I however don't want to install them in the Sterns as it will just ruin them.

So my question is this, what cabinet was Cal .50 originally designed to fit in? I have seen it in a Nintendo cabinet, and it looked pretty nice. However my friend that I get my stuff from restores and resales Nintendo cabinets and doesnt part with them easily. I have a Williams cabinet at my disposal, and it looks like it might work but I don't have the original parts to test fit. Any know which is the better choice cabinet?
 
Looks like a Dynamo cab. I believe .50 Cal was a kit that just went into any cab, but I could be wrong too. :)
 
Yeah it was a kit only game. And its currently in a sterns cabinet. I like the cabinet, but it won't properly fit the bezel or control panel art. I have a williams at my disposal, which might work, but the one in the photo I posted looks alot better to me. Thanks for the help.
 
OK found this image.

This is the cabinet that I would like to get for mine so I can properly install the bezel and CP artwork. Does anyone recognize this cabinet??

That looks pretty much bang on as a karate champ. Just did the "hold up laptop, look back and forth rapidly" bit with the KC cab I have and it matches right down to the cp angles and the two speaker holes above the monitor. I've got pictures of mine, they're just not up anywhere at the moment. I can put them up in my coinop stuff web space tonight (have to scan and upload something else there anyway) or some messing with GIS will turn u tons of pictures of KC cabs.
