I bought this machine a few years ago and am trying to figure out if it was converted or how it came to be. Has anyone ever seen a cabinet like this before? There's a manufacturer sticker inside that says Plateau Inc. 8-13-90 51386.20140227_192142.jpg20140227_192126.jpg

it's a Dynamo Z-back cab conversion
Another guy told me Plateau made conversion cabinets Back in the early 1990's, and that they advertised heavily in Replay Magazine. The manufacturer sticker inside this one says Plateau Inc. I don't think its a Dynamo.

Not a Dynamo Z back.

This is a Dynamo Z back.

That looks like a Frankencab (2~3 cabs in one).

It's gotta be a dynamo z back originally, granted it looks a bit wider at the top than usual. Plateau inc. probably picked it up and chopped it into something else and stuck their sticker inside since they owned it. I'd guess after that somebody slapped that big NEOGEO sticker on the side of it and put up the marquee to "convert" it to a Neo... pure speculation on my part though...

...hmmm...memory was a bit fuzzy as to the finer details of the z back... indeed even the bottom of your cab differs from an orginal z back upon reviewing that picture.

I take it back. Frankencab.

Yes you're right, the bottom of mine is different from the common Z Backs. I did find one Z back that shares a similarity with my cab, this one here has the same type of slide out control panel as mine. DSC05975.jpgDSC05979.jpg

20140319_134945.jpg Here's a picture of the slide out control panel one mine. So far from what I've been hearing, this is a generic conversion cabinet manufactured by Plateau Inc in the early 1990's.
