CHALLENGER
Well-known member
First off I want to thank triple3fast for pointing out the 20 game sale on CL. I contacted the seller to see what I could find. He was a real cool guy. He was looking to get a NES or an SNES sytsem with games for a possible trade. So I offered him a boxed NES CHALLENGER set and a SNES Mario All-stars set with 65 NES games.
In return I get a working non damaged nasty Dynamo cabinet. He pulled some strings and made it happen.
For the longest time I've been after a Dynamo cabinet to convert to a Street Fighter II: World Warrior. Day had finally came. He came and delivered it about 40mins ago, and I'm excited to get working on this ASAP. Really cool guy that made sure that I was satisfied the whole way through.
Now the machine, I believe is either an HS-1 or a 2 Not sure. It has a 25" monitor with no burns whatsoever. The cabinet appears to be not as stocky as the HS-5 like my brother has. Also the back door has a square extension because the monitor back end is too long.
I'm thinkin with that this used to have the original stock 19" monitor.
I'm not sure if this was a special characteristic of the HS-1 or 2 models. But the PSU is on the drawer itself. I don't think the HS-5 model had that, the ones I've seen didn't. These are what is making me think it's an HS-1 or 2 model.
The marquee bulbs are burnt out and may work if I throw some new ones in there. That is the least of my concern because this thing needs a bath. This machine seems to have suffered the fate of cost cutting conversions as many do on locations. But in time I will have this thing looking new like it did in the early 90's.
The monitor was the one thing I worried mostly because of it's nature. But it fired on and no burn or anything from what I can see.
