Candy Cabinet

A Japanese Arcade cabinet. They are white or light colored,mostly sitdown,and have a coin slot on the control panel unlike the American cabinets,which has a coin door on the front. They are made of metal and plastic, the only ones that are made of wood are the older ones in the 80's. In Japan, most arcades are in a row right next to each other. American arcade machines use more room and you have to stand up compared to sitting on a chair or bench. The typical candy cab has bright Sanwa or Seimitsu buttons with matching ball tops and have Japanese writing on most of the front instruction area. Most common size arcade monitors(most can be rotated) are 29",25",26" and sometimes 33" and larger if its a sitdown showcase cabinet. The popular type of candy cabs in Japan are shmups and fighting. Arcade collectors usually collect one or more cabinets and play it as is or use it for Mame/emulators.
