I don't know if I should call this a grail, but it IS a game that has been on my list for a long time.
Thanks to talon93pete, I finally found a cab for my Tecmo Ninja Gaiden. The cab and game is Tecmo Silk Worm but I have now put in the Ninja PCB and Marquee
I do still need to get a Bezel though...

I am going to place the SILK WORM PCB and Marquee in the FS section, PM if interested.

The cab needs some work and does have some water damage. I think with some sanding and paint you would never notice though.
I am not sure what type of cab it is... "Exidy"? I thought it was a Dynamo because of the drawer on the side.

The BONUS inside the machine!

I found a Silk Worm manual, a piece of plexi for the CP (one reason the CP is in such great condition), set of keys and $2.28 + a bunch of Chuck E Cheese tokens and 1 Chuck E Cheese ticket.

There was also one coin that I could not identify. I will put a pic of it below.

Yeah, I last played this game (arcade) 22 years ago and am a bit surprised at the button layout. I think there is only one button and the button on top of the joy that seems to work. Jump and kick. I am going to have to probably rewire the CP.

The last token is what is called a "Generic or a Stock token". Usually you do not see that design but it does pop up from time to time. No way of telling what arcade it came from as several places may have used that design. Some arcades went with stock designs to save money.
 
Interesting about the Token. I wonder if it was just for Chuck E Cheese? Would they have used some? Those are the only ones that I found in there.

The one thing I do need to work on is the CP wiring. Player 1 is actually Player 2 and the buttons are a bit messed up.

For anyone that has a Ninja, are there THREE buttons that work? Jump, Attack and the button on the joy for GRAB?
 
Yep mouse trap thats the one I was told too.
This cab was at chuck's place also at the GRAND SLAM arcade in duluth. Probably spent some time in local bars or pizza joints too.
 
Yeah it was super cool to find those coins. I am going to keep them with the game.
Right now I just need to do some work on rewiring the CP because Player 1 and 2 are switched. Also the "Grab" and "Jump" buttons are switched.
When it gets warmer I am going to sand down the cab and repaint it white.
