WTB No longer wanted: Tekken 1 dedicated cabinet

[ARIKAHistorian]

So I’m getting rid of my multitude and a bunch of vintage computer stuff on facebook marketplace which frees up more space for me. And I’m going back to work tomorrow (wish me luck lol) and I know that this cabinet doesn’t pop up that often so I’m kind of weirdly thankful for that gives me time to accrue… Maybe ideally I should sell my stuff first. But I’ll see what’s out there and go from there! Thanks.

I believe the first pic you sent is of a European cabinet, the 2nd (Namco "Big Black" some call it), is the North American version that you would most likely find.

I was thinking the first one was Japanese actually…

In Japan the fighting game cabinets were almost never dedicated, I believe one of the main machines that were was Mortal Kombat(?) in which it just uses it's North American cabinet. Almost all games (including Tekken 1) were kits that would be installed in any candy cabinet.

I actually saw the first variant on a site called lot-art!

But it’s a bidding site that requires a subscription fee… oof.

Yeah I can’t accommodate this machine either unfortunately
