I know this thing. I was obsessed with it for a little while back some time ago. It's a Jaleco Lo-Pro. A universal cab of sorts cause you could easily rotate the monitor and had a swappable control panel.

Omg - that is cool - and the control panel and board assembly comes out the front like a Dynamo cab for easy servicing!

Yeah...If someone could measure out the cab in it's entirely so that mass cnc jobs could be made up that'd be aces.

I'd be happy to measure it out, unless someone with more skill and experience would like to.

That was my understanding as well. Cocktail and cabaret games were trying to fill in niche areas and not the standard arcade venues. Restaurants, bars, grocery stores and retail areas like Sears.

After going through many games, I have one left and its a cabaret! Great footprint for those of us with limited space. There is no way I could fit a full sized game into my RV.

Back in the 80s, I remember seeing a lot of cabarets in convenience stores in Cambridge, a lot of cocktails in bars and pizza parlours, and a mix of full-sized uprights and cabarets in local arcades.

Just 2 weeks ago I took my williams mini robotron into a cnc shop for measuring and a quote. With a minimum order of 20 the cost was approx $250 flat packed and assembled the quoted $275.

The williams mini only came out as stargate, robotron and make trax. Guys love them and have made them into dedicated jousts and sinistar. Even stencils are available for them at gameongraphix.

There are alot of little wood parts in this cab which is the reason for the high cost. Also the cost included the cabs laminated with a smooth black. Something you could easily stick side art on. I figured it was too much so I wasn't planning on doing it in the new year.

I must admit, Williams cabarets are among the coolest looking....
There was also a Bubbles cabaret too (http://bubblestribute.com/Images/Collectors/bubbles-mini-view.jpg).

I see a mini multi Williams in my future !!

jasonec · Postby **jasonec** » Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:33 pm

Yeah, I'm totally in for one too if it pans out - a multi-Williams mini would totally rock!

Do you guys seriously want me to go back? I have to commit to a minimum order of 20 and I can't afford to float that order and hope they sell. Plus I don't have the room to store them. I was hoping to make 5 or so but for a large company its barely worth the time. Their hoping I order more after the 20 and say the price would drop a little for future orders. I know they are mini's...but I can barely move in my garage as it is.

I had talked to someone here about doing it but I think that died.
