What are those generic white cabs used in Japan again?

I'm certain I asked this before but I can't find the thread.
I was asking if Capcom's Final Fight arcade cab looked the same when it was first released out in Japan as it looked in North America and someone said that in Japan they usually launch games in white generic cabs that you sit down at. He even posted a pic of one.
I can't find the thread, does anyone know the kind of cab he was referring to? Got a pic?

I think the business model there is that they have arcades full of the white candy cabs and they just swap PCBs and not cabs.

I have been to a few of these places in Hong Kong. It looks like the cabinets have been there for 20 years but they all had newer games in them. It actually makes a lot of sense, really.
 
Awesome! This is exactly what I need. Thanks guys.

I don't suppose anyone knows which model Final Fight would have been first released in, by any chance?
 
That's the whole point, the cabinets are generic and they would slap the new games in any of them. So it didn't come in one, it just came with the board and they popped it in whatever machine they had.
 
Final Fight in Japan did receive this cool topper/advertisement sort of thing that is rare as hell. It popped up in another thread here about the game. I've been at cax moving shit all day and am too lazy to look it up for you...but love Final Fight enough to join the thread. ;P
 
I had a look through my old Japanese Gamest magazines but couldn't find any pictures of the artwork etc. I did find a preview where the game was still called "Street Fighter '89" though. That was the December 1989 issue, the January 1990 issue has it as "Final Fight" so they must have changed their minds about the name fairly quickly.
