Ive seen a couple posts about this machine and im guessing it bounced around a few owners and is now mine. I see it has 3 slots to put quarters in, so im wondering what else this machine was before arch rivals? In the original craigs ad that was posted on here the original seller said it just wouldnt power on. Well thats not the problem, its the pcb. But im deciding whether to buy another arch rivals pcb or if I should turn this into whatever it was. Anybody have an idea of what this couldve been? I'll take more pictures if needed. Thanks!

..rampage..
 
you could buy arch rivals dedicated and it came in this cabinet,
which is the same as rampage. i think the coin door just got
changed out, as the cab should have two grey horizontal chutes,
like so many other bally/midway games of the late 80s.
 
Ok. Im having a hard time getting the control panel open, I found 2 latches on the side but cant seem to feel a 3rd one. Im leaning towards buying another pcb now unless I can get the things needed to make it nba jam, thatd be what id want to do most!
 
If the stripes on the side are blue, with that coin door - it was a STAR GUARDS cabinet.

Dedicated Arch Rivals cabinets had an over/under coin door with artwork on the bezel and dedicated side art.

Rampage had the older style Bally/Midway coin door, and green/yellow stripes on the side.

Thats my actual game you're looking at there, my entry into this ridiculous hobby! :)

I picked it up pretty much gutted except for art (perfect bezel and marquee) from TNT. I fixed the sides up, repainting around the stripes. When I was bringing this home, traffic was kind of creeping along. A dude in a silver Porsche 911 in the lane next to me was staring at it and rear ended a pickup.
