Dino King and the variants (Love Berry and the green one) have 13" viewable monitors not 17" viewable (18" face diagonal) monitors like the Pony 18 or City. I also do not believe that the monitor's tate in those cabs without some new fabrication to be made. I believe some one has done a write-up on that process here.
I agree @o1s1n, I think a pony 18 will cost as much as (probably more) than neo SC-19 and likely mini cute too.
Good repository of vintage dagashiya cabs for reference.
FrancoB did a couple of great Dinoking conversions years back and if I remember correctly one of them had a vertical monitor setup.
Ah yes here, we go!

Yeah I got some users working on something for me, and yeah the dagashiya cabs were the ones I was super interested in. But since they were so old and made of MDF most are either museum peices or totally trashed and not for sale.

Also you might consider an Atari Centipede cabaret and a cabinet to JAMMA adapter. It has a 19" vertical monitor and you can get a repro blank control panel for it which you could make into whatever layout you like.
Or there are people who CNC Atari cabaret cabinets so you could make one yourself, just get a 19" CRT monitor and a JAMMA harness. It is a thought. I have multiple candy cabs and a Centipede cabaret myself.

Namco Consolette 18s on AliExpress:

Can’t vouch for the seller, but may be worth reaching out. Pricey/rare though, and probably a bitch to find parts for.

Man I didn't even know about those amuzy cabs until it was pointed out in this thread. I picked one up locally lol. Burn-in is pretty bad but I can deal, I might replace the monitor and see if I can convert it to a JAMMA cab. It's next to a Mini Cute repro cab. I was thinking of getting an Arcade1UP and modding it but I think this is a better option since it uses a CRT.

Did you get that Amuzy from Captains? I got outbid on it by $50 LOLMan I didn't even know about those amuzy cabs until it was pointed out in this thread. I picked one up locally lol.

I nabbed two others tho.
AFAIK, dagashiya cabinets were manufactuered (or subcontracted) by the bigger companies and then those cabs were bootlegged by many copycats. I think the vast majority of these cabinets (even the boots) were built using japanese "gel coat" plywood, very similar if not identical to what americans received from Nintendo in their upright Donkey Kong, DK. JR., Mario Brothers, Popeye and Punchout cabinets. See the plywood splitting here
It was someone local on ebay, since you're in Norcal (I'm Socal) probably not the same guy.
