Picked up this Tempest converted into a Street Fighter 2, but with a weird cabinet profile

I recently picked up an empty cabinet. According to the Atari Amusement sticker model number of 289XXX, it should be a Tempest. The profile of the cabinet almost looks like it. The only difference is that the profile of the cabinet has a few more angles than it should. I'm thinking maybe at some point the operator cut the sides open to make room for 2 players. I was curious if anyone had ever seen a Tempest with this profile. If my theory is correct, then I think my best course of action would be to just cut a filler piece of wood and biscuit joint it back in place. Then cosmetically go after it from there.

Thanks

You are correct. The Op cut the sides down to facilitate 2 player games.

I have an original, largely unmolested Tempest. If you'd like, I can post a number of points which should allow you to cut a piece to size.
 
I say this was an upgrade, Andrewb can suck a lemon. Sf 2 kicks ass, literally. Your best course of action is to enjoy it as is :laugh::laugh:
