RBI Baseball Dedicated Cabinet Build

[Hookindafoot]

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

Double Play: Super Baseball Home Run Derby - Videogame by Cinematronics

Double Play: Super Baseball Home Run Derby is a Videogame by Cinematronics (circa 1987). Information about it's history and background, photos, repair help, manuals, for sale and wanted lists, and census survey is brought to you by The International Arcade Museum at the Museum of the Game

The Controls were off the hook good, Pitching/Bating Interface was one of a kind.

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


I just noticed I think the Coin slot lights are working on that standup Dual Cab!!

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.
