Doing a little research on RBI Baseball, it Looks like the cabinets were mostly made from Donkey Kong Junior Cabs.

At least that is what I originally played it on. But it looks like some Donkey Kongs were converted also

Only other cabs are Red Tents & Original VS cabs that are pretty rare
I don't want to mess with Donkey Kong Junior, I actually liked it better than DK.
I think I am going to try and find a Roached Donkey Kong & Convert it to an RBI Baseball.
 
Would love to get a RED TENT or one of the Original Double Dual Sysrem Cabinets. But those are rarer than Hensteeth. My guess is probably less than a 1000 of both Cabinets made iyt to the US of each model, maybe less.

I was around a lot of arcades back in the day, some pretty high end arcades too. and can maybe remember only seeing 3 Red Tents & maybe 2 of the Latge VS Dual System Cabinets.

So Those Cabs are probably out as possible candidates.

Yeah, a Roached Donkley Kong Probably the way to go.



The NES Tengen Version of RBI Baseball was good but the Arcade RBI Baseball was better.

Would Love to get a
1987 Super Baseball: Double play Home Ruun Derbyby Cinematronics
But I just don't see them come available very much

Probably the Best Baseball Arcade Game Ever

The Controls were off the hook good, Pitching/Bating Interface was one of a kind.
 
Following: As I too am building a blue DK(was a Mario Bros) to Atari/Nintendo RBI upright. Kudos

Really? Last time I bought a bunch of games, there was 4 of the Large Vs Dual cabs there. I left them all since they are beasts to move. I have probably came across those more than I have seen red tents though.

I would probably go back and pick all 4 of them up. From my research those are rare as heck. I think most of the Red Tents are "spoken for" Those VS Dual Cabs are probably the last chance to have an actual original VS cabinet. If I had Room, I would buy them.
How much were they asking? And where are they at?
Your talking about these? Correct? Released in 1984, right

So your saying there are 4 VS DualSystem cabinets for sale out in the Illinois area?
Chicago area? Makes sense. Condition? How much they asking?
I like Chicago, Probably be a pretty good Road Trip

As far as Single cabs
Probably not that many VS RBI's out there anymore.

I think a lot of those Donkey Kong Jrs were turned into Popeyes?
Popeye seems to be the hot conversion for a lot of those cabinets nowadays.
Personally I always liked Donkey Kong Junior.
