So, I've got a couple cabs that were converted, painted, converted again, stripped, reconverted, etc that currently have some crap game in them and are working, but I want to install a couple NOS or other kits into those cabs that I like.
I have a Berzerk/Frenzy cab that is black and converted into Wheel of Fortune.
I have a Moon War cab that is green and converted to Ten Yard Fight '84.
Now, I have a Rastan kit (bezel, marquee, board, new cpo) that was taken out of an old Robotron that was converted back (good). I'd really like to put it in the Berzerk cab, but everything is too wide. I do have an old stripped Joust cab that someone tried to re-stencil and screwed up that I could put it in, but I was thinking of someday putting it back to Joust and selling it.
And I have a NOS Roc n' Rope kit (NOS bezel, NOS marquee, NOS cpo, board) that I want to put into the Moon War cab, but it's wider than the Rastan stuff.
So, how did operator's do it? I know they didn't all have the ability to cut these down for whatever Stargate or Taito cab they were converting.
Am I going to have to cut these down to make them fit? I can probably take them to a local plastics place and have them cut it professionally for me, but I hate to do it. Can't imagine holding these forever hoping to find a crappy cab that they'll fit...
