I just come back from looking at some old cabs a guy wants to get rid of. I did not have a lot of time to really look at them or find out which ones actually work,,but the ones that don't should only need minor repairs. IE, one of them, the monitor shuts down after it warms up. I only had enough time to snap a couple pics from my phone. Behind the Double Dragon is Shinobi. I am looking to pick up 2 or 3 for some projects to work on over the next while. I can't remember the name on the far one next to Street Fighter II, but it's something Beast. Anyone have any opinions or suggestions?

Looks to me like the Robocop is a lost Pacman unless I am mistaken. The far one looks to be Altered beast from the marquee. Looks like none of them have sideart so for me would be based on what cabinet style I ultimately wanted. Good luck, cannot find selection like that around here.

Yes, Altered Beast, that's what it is. I am almost thinking on taking Shinobi, Street FighterII, and Double Dragon. I am not familiar with MIA or Altered Beast. I will look them up though.
 
drab the SFII is a dynamo hs1 cab. You can easily roate the monitor in that one and get replacement control panels.

The monitor that is shutting off is probably the SF. It probably has a k7000 in it that needs caps. Recap it and it will work fine.

double dragon is in a joust/moon patrol cab. soild wood good cabinet.

robocop probably a galaxian or bosconian. should be a solid cab.

missing in action is something like a lunar rescue crazy climber cabinet. Those cabs are easily damaged by mositure. so probably a good pass..

altered beast looks like a devatators, contra, krull cabinet. Again not a very good cab.

I would say get
1:sf
2:double dragon
3:robocop
 
I just noticed the player 1 controls on SF. Looks like the CP was modified for a lefty. I would like to have a look in the back of the RC to see what it was. It looks like my old Pacman cab, which is now a conversion. I could not get a good shot of Shinobi in behind RC and DD. So basically all these cabs are conversions? I know RC is for sure, but wasn't sure about the others. If it was a Pacman, I would like to convert it back. I missed my chance with my other cab.
