I picked up a Vanguard cabinet that has a marquee and CPO for a game called B-52. I've found very little about the game online. Unfortunately the game doesn't have a B-52 board, instead it has a Capcom 1942 board. The CPO is in poor shape, but could be scanned for possible reuse. The marquee is screen printed and is in really nice shape. What is a B-52 Marquee worth if the game may or may not exist?

I just picked up the same thing a few weeks ago. Although mine has a different cpo. I saw a photo of a matching bezel for mine when I did a search. It's a 1942 as well.

That's cool. I would have preferred a Nintendo cabinet over the beat up Vanguard cabinet I bought!
 
I always thought this was a bootleg 1942 art package.
Funny, since it's a game where you have no bombs at all.
 
My B52 Bomber appears to have a legit Capcom board in it as well. I was expecting to find a bootleg inside.
 
There are many other threads on here about this same situation. B-52 Bomber marquee (that is cut to fit in some cases) and cabinet but finding 1942 board inside. The art package thing would seem to make sense, but on yours it looks like you have a label on the front and also CPO? I did find some old cached image of a CPO for this title online.
 
Alternate art, bootleg or not, with a legit board makes sense. Don't find the name "1942" very attracting or appealing (and wouldn't put the puzzle pieces together), but maybe that's just me.
