So I have been talking to this guy for weeks and I get some pics that are pretty good but I should have looked closer. I think we have all let excitement get the best of us.

The price was right even though it was't working and it looked good so I drove 100miles to get it.

I get there and it is in this unknown cabinet. The back is missing, It is not a jamma as he said it was and the wiring is a rat nest.

It did come with 2 pcb's and a new power supply. The cabinet is prett good. The front panel and coin door looks to be replaced. It is identical to my centipede other than the coin door.

I am going to start by learning how to test the boards and the monitor.The joysticks and the buttons are all new.
 
Looks like a Centipede or Dig Dug but let's be honest.

Seriously. How do you expect someone who is NOT a collector to answer questions about what is and what isn't Jamma and especially if they are casual gamers...you can't fault them for someone else's wiring hack....

You have to lower your expectactions when it comes to these things.
 
Over under coin door says it's probably a Dig Dug, but I could be wrong. Ikari Warriors isn't jamma and as others have said, I wouldn't expect the owner to know whether or not it had an adapter.

Back doors are easy to make...
 
He was a collector with multiple games. He said the board said Jamma on it.

I know that Ikari was available as a Jamma and as a SNK as this one is.
 
...

Yeah it looks like a conversion (dig dug/centipede/kangaroo style cab). Most likely jamma since its a conversion.
