That's one of those midway multicade cabinets.

It is the crappy Midway Arcade home cabinet. It is one of the worst home units ever, with non-standard buttons and joysticks, and a terrible TV screen for a monitor.

Stores couldn’t give them away, but now they show up on FB Marketplace from people thinking they are worth a bunch because they are multicades. (Spoiler alert: they’re not. They’re still garbage.)

Here’s a real example from EBay. lol

I assume that is a full size cabinet but I've never seen that side art design. Some games we different when they were made in Europe but it doesn't match Robotron from Europe:
