Need pics/video of Double Dragon (Taito GTC 100 universal cab)

Need a little help. Haven't found a lot of info on these cabs. My cab is completely missing major parts and I want to know how they originally functioned so I can fabricate new stuff properly.

I've already been talking with Phetishboy about his cab but he just sold it and can't take any pictures.

I'd like to see how the control panel looks from all angles (including the bottom latch brackets).

I really need to see how the wood monitor mount looks and functions (nothing left of the original on mine). I know it's supposed to let you fold the monitor down and rotate it.

Would also like to see the bottom drawer that pulls out/ the slot that it goes into, etc.


If you could include any dimensions of this stuff it would help me so much.

Thanks

Matt, I do have a blank Double Dragon control panel. It's just the wood and a plain grey overlay. No wiring, buttons or joys. It is in perfect shape, no damage, but it's missing the hold down latches as well. The wood is in pretty much new shape and then at least you would have a blank control panel to start with. You want it, it's yours for $25 shipped.

Thanks man. But I think I'll pass on the CP. I'm going to be building a lot of stuff so I'll have plenty of wood to create my own.
 
I just got one but haven't moved it to my house. I put it into storage because I am out of space still.

It seems to be an earlier one where it was stenciled and not the vinyl screened sides. I haven't really looked into exactly what is was originally as it was converted. The cab is in still decent shape so I'll try to restore it for my Cadash. I'm still looking for a good Double Dragon to have twin cabs. (board swapping for Dual Cadash)

I won't be able to get better pics for some weeks.
 
I actually just acquired one of these. another black spraypaint job. the part where some of the paint is chipped shows what appears to be quality TAITO vinyl underneath.

it looks like the original drawer was neutered however, it's just a panel that was screwed on, no moving shelf inside. cab's been hacked to hell and back, gonna need a lot of bondo.

I was wondering, is it possible with some woodworking magic to replace the wooden panel that holds the monitor with one that could accept a 25" monitor? I'm not a fan of the 19" stuff... makes it looks so hokey and 80s.

Sorry for the double post, but I considered this for a time too. I ended up not doing it b/c I don't think the neckboard will fit with the back door.
