Just picked up a Haunted House. Backbox is solid but cabinet needs to be replaced. Looking for a bare wide body cabinet that I could refinish. Anybody out there got one?

Star Race and Circus are too wide for your needs. It won't be just stencil work that'll need to be done. Keep in mind that Haunted House has side by side speakers in the bottom cabinet and also has the plunger area shaved so it sits at a slightly different angle. Here is some info to help you decide how much work will be needed for a swap if something pops up for you. Not noted are the different cabinet corner joint between sample and production games.

Bottom cabinets that have the shaved plunger area are Mars, God of War, Haunted House, Caveman, Spirit and Krull.

Bottom cabinets that have paired side by side speaker holes in the bottom cabinet are Black Hole, Eclipse, Haunted House, Devil's Dare, Rocky, Spirit, Striker, Punk, Goin' Nuts, Krull, and Q*berts Quest.

Bottom cabinets that have paired front/back speaker holes are Mars, God of War and Volcano.

Bottom cabinets with a single speaker hole are James Bond, Star Race, Time Line, Force II and Pink Panther.

Bottom cabinets with no speaker hole are Spiderman, Circus, Panthera, Counterforce and Caveman.

Bottom cabinet with different front leg bolt position is Mars, God of War.

Looks like If you want an exact cabinet replacement, the only games that match Haunted House perfectly are Spirit and Krull (good luck with finding one parted out), Caveman is a match too but you'll need to cut speaker holes in the bottom. TNT Amusements parted out several Caveman's IIRC, I'd start there.

Thanks Steve. Great info. I had been wondering about some of the possible differences.
