This "Dagashiya" type plywood Pony Video Game cabinet by Jaleco is of the same generic "Mini Upright" format (misnomer as it is truly Sitdown type) as the Casio Mini Up and the Taito Mini Upright amongst others.

It is stock mounted on caster wheels, elevating the cab a bit.

In absence of proper documentation for the while being, dimensions are given approximately by owners & 2nd hand dealers in Japan: circa 500x500x1300mm, it is not mentioned if measures were taken with or without caster wheels.

A Japanese "Doxster" series fanzine/collector pamphlet has been recently published for this specific model.

Editor's Notes : 1) I identified the stock panel, it is a custom "Pony Video Game" branded Seimitsu CTX style panel derived from the CTX-19W model, albeit with a custom button layout possibly predating SNK's 1991 SCB-U4 & 1992 SC14-2 & SC19-4 iconic clustered layout with button "D" placed above "B" & "C", stacked between the latter two. Start button witth Jaleco have been displaced closer to each respective player's joystick. This means if the original panel is damaged beyond repair only an original replacement panel can make it 100% authentic, if not, equivalent Seimitsu cited above being the closest. See below in Gallery.

2) Jaleco's clone of Tehkan Lava was also sold under the name "Pony" & "Pony Video Game".
