Does anyone know what was in this CAB? Looking for Origin

Hello, i just picked up this cab here today, and i was looking online and i see that this cab doesnt look like all the others... the game inside of it is Mania Challenge..

I notice on the side of the cab i can kinda make out the writing 'ster' or 'sten' but im not shure

but if anyone knows what was in this cab befor someone converted it to Mania Challenge would be relly nice!

here is some pictures... the first pic is what it is suppost to look like

the other pics are of what my cab looks like..

thanks

the picture from KLOV is also a conversion, definitely from a Tempest (totally unique cabinet design.) considering the age of the game, it's possible there was never a dedicated version.

your cabinet is a standard Stern. it looks like there's some chipping of the black paint on the side showing yellow; that'd indicate it was likely a Scramble or Lost Tomb.
 
Mat Mania was a conversion kit only...

There is no such thing as a dedicated Mat Mania...
 
Uhhhh..........:D he means the klov pictures are often not accurate...thats a converted Tempest cab with that kit installed..not a dedicated cab...:D

Klov often uses whatever pictures are submitted by collectors...often that can be games in converted cabs..if that is only submission sometimes they will use that photo if they don't have others just so they have some picture for point of reference to go with game description..
 
Your Mania Challenge kit was installed into a Stern cabinet, most likely a Scramble. Yellow paint can be seen through the scrapes on the side.

..and klov.com is not renowned for it's accuracy or ability to be able to easily convey info to the uninitiated--it's generally poorly organized and maintained, and limited in scope. Wikipedia will likely supplant it eventually, and for the most part already has, though klov tends to have cabinet pics for most entries at least.. even if they are a random conversion.
