Hi guys...

firsty need some help identifying nintendo cabinets...

from the pictures below ill list my findings, could someone help in confirming or correcting my findings :)

vs_system.png


1. This is the VS System cabinet slightly thinner and maybe taller than the original DK cabinet.
2. DK Cabinets, most VS systems were conversions of these. Also a widebody version was available.
3. The PunchOut cabinet was used for Arm Wrestling and I think the Playchoice Dual/Screen... can someone please confirm ???
4. A single screen playchoice, not sure if this is the same as the 1st cabinet.. could someone please confirm???

Also looking for someone with a Original VS System cabinet (1. perhaps 4.) for some information please contact me or PM in here if you do.

All help appreciated
 
1. Yes, for the most part. You can see specs for all these cabs on videogameflyers.com. Just search "Nintendo" and you'll get flyers for all of them.
2. Yes, though the widebody cabinet was made for the dedicated release of Mario Bros.
3. Yes.
4. I believe so, but obviously uses a different control panel.

I'm pretty sure TheBasement (http://www.thebasementarcade.com/gameroom.htm) has a dedicated Vs. cabinet with Hogan's Alley exactly like the one pictured (aside from him modding a NES Zapper to be used instead of the original gun).

The widebody was used only for Mario Bros. and is largely different than the standard DK cabs.
 
Oh, and dont forget the Heli-Fire cabinet and the dual Vs. corner console.

thanks for the reply guys...

so we can confirm then that the Playchoice 10 (single) and the VS System cabinets are teh same apart from colors and control panel???

Next question, has anybody here got any of these cabinets??

Need some help with dimensions....

any help appreciated :)
 
I have a DK plywood style, a DK style Popeye (press board) cab, a dual monitor PC10 & a Wide Body Mario.

Let me know what you need as far as dimentions.

thats great... im hopefully get the plans/scales drawn up for a couple of them, but will need only a couple of dimensions.

Once I got them drawn ill post them up for help :)

Finding it hard to find people with a VS System cabinet or Single screen Playchoice10...

thanks for all the posts guys..

anyone else with the cabinets??
 
I have also seen single screen PC10's in the DK/DK Jr. type cabinets. Let us also not forget cocktail tables and the Red Tent Vs.
 
excellent so currently we have people on here with:

2. DK Cabinet and the widebody varient.
3. Playchoice and Punch-Out!! Dual Screen
4. Single Screen playchoice... they do look different to no.1, if the control panel is different as I assume it has the lip where the start, select, reset buttons are.. is this part of the cabinet or control panel???

Also looking at the original manual to the widebody, single and playchoice... it seems as even though they look similiar the widebody is slightly different (not just wider)... the manuals also look very similiar for the pc10 and wideboy are they the same side profile??? (as the coin door and height of speaker grill is definately different)..

any help appreciated :)
