Alright It's been about 3 years.. So Bump.. Well can't say that I'm not determined to still located this!!, I would eventually really like to add this game into my collection... I believe this game not only did have a dedicated cabinet as seen here:
But also I'm pretty sure this game was also sold as a kit. As far as side art is concerned when this was distributed as a kit I'm 95% positive it came with the image below and rather not just generic Sega logos. I was able to locate this craptastic image that needs to be vectorized:
The only one I know who's able to reproduce this in such a crappy size is Fizgig
but I doubt he would want to since he's always busy doing a billion other restorations of his own. I know he was interested in a Choplifter and this game would compliment it well. I also don't have the skill set to reproduce the sideart based on eyeballing it but I'm sure again Fizgig or someone is capable.. Again I really need the cabinet first before I even get to that point.
The Wonderboy Kit the CPO should be a Generic Sega Blue logo that looks like this (Which I already Aquired a NOS one) :
Fun Spots Control Panel which they chopped up the instruction card.. but at least you can see the Jump / Attack Button Stickers:
Funspots Marquee is indeed correct I also aquired a Used original.:
I also acquired 2 PCB's one working the other not, in addition to a System 8 JAMMA adapter.
What I got..
Original PCB
Original Plexi Marquee
What I believe to be the correct CPO from the kit (Even if not it would be the one I would use)
What I need..
*Dedicated Sega cabinet (yeahh right)
*Button Stickers *It's literally just text, any one know the font ? or can reproduce them ?
*Instruction Card ( Although at least the instruction card can be found in Hi-Res...Here:

*Also can any one Identify what joystick this thing had? It looks like a non Wico, almost like a "Coin Control" 8-Way Leafswitch Joystick ?
**The dedicated CPO in that pic looks like stripes etc.. any one have that control panel ? or a NOS CPO ?>
So bottom line if anyone has the capability to located the dedicated sega cabinet working / not working I don't care or if it has a different game inside so long as the cab is solid. Preferably with the Sega side art intact. Unless of course this never existed as a dedicated cab and this was just someones nice conversion ? Any leads on obtaining the Sega cab would be nice or any knowledge about wonderboy that you can provide. I must own this cabinet, it's a relatively obscure game some might remember this game when it was on the NES called "Adventure Island". This was I believe Sega's answer to Super Mario Bros. from Nintendo, as Capcom produced their side scrolling game Ghosts N' Goblins.
forum member "Mrbill2084" apparently had one a year ago for around 75 bucks (at that price i'd ship it).. I'm sure it's gone by now...

I don't really want to give up and I'm going to be pretty persistent in trying to track this down I would rather not like to toss this into a generic Dynamo cab, but if I must I must as a last resort. Again I'm sure ones floating around. I'm sorry I missed Mbill2084's post last year or I woulda jumped on that.
