Cabinet identification

[Stokers]

Hi all

I'm curious about this style of cabinet, one of my local arcades had two of these back in the 90s - that were used exclusively for Sega or Namco hardware.

I've seen a few of them since running Virtua Striker or Virtua Fighter 2, on inspection they have an official Sega serial number but no other production logos that I can see.

If anyone knows more about them, i'd appreciate it.

I tend to just think of them as SEGA Virtua cabs. No idea if they have a proper style name.

I'm answering my own question here, but searching using the term 'Sega Virtua cabs' has made things easier.

There is a another thread here which I didn't find at first: https://www.ukvac.com/forum/threads/model-2-cabinets.55293/

However for this style of cab, with the footrests they were manufactured by Sega of UK according to the manual.

also for what it's worth these cabs have the build quality of a tank.

They were probably knocked out by Deith Leisure, Suzo or similar under licence, maybe even Atari Ireland if they were still going at the time or basically whoever Sega were using at that point. A lot of Namco stuff from that era was Brent Leisure.

Indeed. In the event of a nuclear bomb going off in the centre of Bristol - i'm hiding in one of these cabs.

second cabinet I ever picked up and was a test carrying it 2 flights of stairs. Extremely well built cabinet with ms9 nanao Monitor.
deith leisure on the stickers if I remember correctly.

How did you manage it?

The one I checked over today had a Hitachi tube, I didn't spend much time checking over the chassis - so i'm not sure what it was.

It also had some interesting bits inside, some sort of coin checker device (I'm told to make sure the takings reconciled with what the coin mech recorded) standard i'm sure but i've never seen one. The entire rear section slides out for maintenance which is a nice feature as well.

This is how I did it - 2 friends with Beer and the promise of more beer when successfully turned on. Youth was a big factor also.Cab had been converted fortunately out of virtua striker into a neo geo 4 slot and carts . £150

I can almost feel the back strain again now ….

Yeh the Dead Or Alive I got is the same. Seen Fighting Vipers and Last Bronx in similar cabs but yeah far and away you saw Virtua Strikers more than anything else but that was just UK arcades in a nutshell back then!
