Picked up this sega cabinet. I figured it was choplifter, but I was looking at the monitor bezel and its golden axe. Just got me wondering if maybe there was a dedciated golden axe.

here are pics of the cab. It was converted to MK. It was dark, but either someone cut out the control area to put a plexi part to support the SFII control layout or it has a convertable control panel like the dynamo hs1. I am banking on cut out.

here are pics in the other thread I posted.

I have a dedicated golden axe. should be in a dynamo cut corner cab.. likely sega purchased the dynamo cabs and stuck in the goods.
 
I'd love to find one of these for my Choplifter stuff...

When I saw it I thought choplifter, But when I pulled the monitor bezel it was golden axe. Since sega had a facility down in SJ I was thinking maybe they converted a choplifter for an AMOA show or for a local CA robinson show..

If this one was in better shape, I would say ship it to texas. As I said in the other post, If somone had a good use for it/wanted to save it, I would pass it along rather than fix it and sell it off as a MK..
 
Last thing I need to do is ship a cab....especially one for sale with no price listed...
 
From what I can remember, Golden Axe was a kit (PCB, Marquee, Bezel, CPO and Side Art) that could be installed in a Dynamo cab as Chad suggested.

It's pretty rare to find it dedicated and in that condition. He's since replaced the ugly joysticks with balltop Wicos. I'd say the art on it would have to be on the Top 5 list of best dedicated cabinet art ever. It's awesome. Even better, the game lives up to its art.

Oops. I thought I posted it earlier. I am into the game for $75. Have not messed with it and it plays blind. So if you have a good use, something over $75 would be fine. Good use would be something sega related.

I was going to fix the monitor and off it as a MK + MK2(I have a spare mk2 pcb). Either that or rotate the monitor(easy to do in this cab) and off it as a 60 in 1.
 
I have a spare MK2 Sound board if you need one and I think a MK2 kick harness.

I have a NBA Jam conversion in a cabinet just like this picture. It still has the Golden Axe serial number/model number tags on the back. This is what the dedicated cabinets looked like.

You probably know that the cabinet you need is an exidy max-a-flex cabinet... Wrong side art but right cabinet shape. Buf if you did find a max-a flex, you could always play pitfall II on its 600xl on the 8bit cart..
