This is a really nice and unique cabinet....and rare. It is what I believe was one of the first "generic" game cabinets designed for kit games, back in the very early 1980s. It's called (as you can see) INFINITY 1. I think this is the cabinet also used by Artic games for their line of games. Their most well known game (I think) was Mars.
At any rate, this cabinet has the Data East version of BUMP N JUMP, which in the US was licensed to be manufactured by Bally/Midway. This is the DECO version, though which plays the same but is running on different hardware. It is working perfectly. The monitor has an amazing picture, and the sound and controls are working great.
You can see from the pictures just how amazingly clean this game is inside and out. I was originally planning to keep this cabinet for my arcade museum. And I probably still should. I just need to downsize and it is so hard for me to decide to get rid of something and somehow I brought myself to get rid of this, so I better stick to my guns and just let it go. Hopefully I will eventually forget I ever had it and not regret selling it. I hate having regrets, which is the foundation of my hoarding mental illness. Well, enough about me.
You should be very happy with this game - it is truly in amazing condition. It's also a relatively lightweight game, for what it's worth. They used a super high quality plywood that is rather thin and therefore lightweight - probably the same style used in Nintendo cabs, which are also very lightweight. I'm sure this cabinet was manufactured in Japan and imported for what it's worth.
I know in the pictures above, the monitor looks like it isn't displaying right, but that's just because the shutter speed is too fast on my phone camera. So it captures the picture while the monitor is drawing the screen and looks like half the screen is missing. Trust me, or just watch the video above, and you will see that the monitor has a perfect picture.
