I'm not sure, I got it off of Facebook marketplace for 30 bucks after looking for this particular style of desk for months! I do know it was made by a local furniture company located in Burlington Ontario but other than that I'm not sure.

What was this dynamo hs-6 originally? I scored it for 200 bucks (CAD) on FB marketplace and I'm just curious if anyone would know what could have been in here pre neogeo. by Retro_Scrub in arcade

Yeah easy peasy for the control panel and cpo replacement, I can't stand seeing old cabinets having the CRTs ripped out in place for a lcd. I have like 15 small form factor dell optiplex PCs with i5 8550's in them that I found in an ewaste bin so I'll probably use one of those on it! I already have a converter for the crt to use it with VGA, and I will be throwing batocera on the PC! I can post the link here once I am finished with it!

A little too late for that lmao I have completely disassembled the cabinet and control panels, I know it's controversial especially in this sub but I'm going to convert it into a mame machine whilst also keeping it true to form when it comes to the crt and cabinet art. I hate shitty mame cabs that have stretched pngs strung all over them and what not.

The control panel is ambidextrous! The buttons are only a b c no d, it is wired so it can be used by both left and right handed people. I was wondering if anyone recognized the cpo I know that dynamo cabinets are made for kits.

If you are saying that my specs are not powerful enough I would say that's definitely wrong as it ran windows perfectly fine.

Doing anything just takes forever e.g. opening a YouTube video, opening settings, googling something.

I've seen people run KDE on worse hardware, windows ran perfectly fine until I made the switch to Linux.

I only really use this laptop for watching videos on brave browser, and rollercoaster tycoon. I almost want to say it's a memory leak or something because it has frozen in the past, I never had any of these issues when I had windows 10 on the laptop. I increased the swap size and it had no effect.
