Anyone know what pinball this was from?

I don’t know what an Isis Cab is but is it made by Stern? If it isn’t I’d doubt it was done factory.
As for Trident it’s a 1979 Stern so it’s a very early SS pin with a mpu100. They aren’t that valuable, Dracula is much better in my opinion but maybe because I own one haha
Trident isn’t that rare they made 3500-4000 approx.
Hope that gives you more info

I think until last few years prob like arcade machines as well stuff just wasn’t deemed valuable and if a pinball didn’t work it was just a big heavy wooden box of lights, so very conceivable it was trashed
Thats why production numbers aren’t very vindictive of real numbers still around
I own some pinballs with very very low production numbers (e.g only 99 made., but in reality there’s now prob 5 left making it crazy rare)
And some production numbers were purposely inflated. Gameplan claimed to produce approx 500 units of andromeda and Cyclopes but in truth they only made approx 250. Today there’s prob not even 60/70 of them left. I suspect much less but who knows.

Being a pinball collector operator for decades I too have had to burn a few cabs and true to say worth very little back in the 80s when electronic ones outpopularised the old mechanicals I got a whole load from associated leisure at burton on Trent for £25 each working Williams and zaccaria e/m
Video cabs same the plywood cabs more than the chipboard ones made good upcycling panels and many generic cabs like subelectro , electrocoin and especially michibutsu seemed to use recycled panels or off cuts inside like coin boxes and under control panels etc where they may not get seen ?
It’s quite trendy now to have an arcade artefact around as a wall art or games room extra feature but back in the 80s we did all sorts here’s a couple of odd pics just from the back garden

The first picture is just a small piece of Goliath front to make a shed door thicker to hold a Yale lock circa 1990 and earlier by a few years an inbuilt supermarket 4 wheel bread trolley curtesy of taitronics . I don’t recall game but it was a big cab at the time.
Two weeks ago a guy bought a pooltable slate from me and within an hour or so he had sliced it in two making a trendy garden bbq table with a back . Lots of people have had fruity glass pinball backflash glasses and video header marquees to frame and one guy used to do similar with old midway invader cabs turned them into disco light boxes.
