Need Advice: Ghouls N Ghosts / Haunted Castle Cabinet

I am in the process of FINALLY completing my parting together of both games.
Now comes the part I need advice on...

What cabinet do I get?? Data East comes to mind. I thought about a Commando cab, but I don't know if the button layout will match the Ghouls N Ghosts CPO. What about Bionic Commando?

I know the cabs are typical Dynamo cabs.
Can anyone tell me a few typical cab converstions (games) that would match the button layout of a Ghouls N Ghosts or Haunted Castle??

Again, my biggest concern is making sure the CPO matches with the button layout and is not offset.

You'll need to get the actual CP, rework one (cut and fill holes) or have one made because those are specific, dedicated games.

Damn... I was hoping to find a cab that was an easy strip and reapply the Ghouls overlay.
I may have to go with a Commando or Bionic Commando. I don't like how Robocop has the rounded marquee.
 
I've never seen a dedicated Haunted Castle...everyone has always said it was kit-only.

Rainman - you have a Haunted Castle cpo???

No, I do not have the CPO for Haunted Castle. If I did, I would post it on here so people can get it scanned and reproduced. Everyone seems to be looking for it!

I do have the CPO for Ghouls. Since both games have the same button layout, I wanted to get 2 cabs that are identical and put both games inside. For Haunted Castle's CPO, I'm looking into just making my own. Same with HC Bezel.

Besides, with the difficulty of both of those games, they should be put next to each other!

You could also adjust the ghouls CPO artwork to fit the commando control panel and print a new one. I did that for my Black Tiger.

In that case just go with two modular hs-1's. Would definitely look better than data east cabs. Although for Haunted Castle I was going to go with hs-5 just for the bigger monitor

I'm going for Black Tiger, Ghouls N Ghosts and Haunted Castle... all right next to each other. Black Tiger is done. Just need to get those cabs. I could reprint, but sucks because I spent an ass ton of money on the NOS CPO. LOL!

Yeah, I just have to find two Hs-1s cabs. It's gonna look sick when I'm done with them all in a row! Not on a Fizgig level, but still...sick.

Good luck...I haven't been able to find a single decent modular hs-1 around here in like a year of looking. I have everything for Final Fight ready to go but no cab.

Re; Haunted Castle cpo...if I could just get a scan of the freakin instructions box, I would just make my own and be fine with it...

Agreed, and agreed. I just wish someone would reproduce the HC artwork.
 
yeah I know how that goes.

I could make you a custom Ghouls and Castles to fit your panels but you'd have to bribe me with some NOS goodies :)
