I know someone sold a Asteroids Deluxe prototype on here last year. I think it was serial #5, or something insane like that. I know the marquee was different, and maybe the control panel. I was wondering this is a different machine. Does it look like a prototype??? The Marquee looks different.

I doubt its a prototype - the anti-glare kit has been installed with the angled bezel. The marquee does look a bit different, but the CPO looks the same.
Of course the serial number of the cab, and boards would be the offical confirmation.
 
It's an Ireland cabinet. I have the same one. I changed my marquee to the American version. The side art has a different color scheme too. Awesome find.
 
I have Asteroids Deluxe, serial #002. Purple lettering on the marquee. There was a long post about this one when it was originally sold years ago. Been through a few hands in Florida, but currently in my lineup.

There's a cpo on it now, but it was originally screened on the metal (on there when I bought it, since replaced with another, but I saw the original, blown out art). Let me know if you have any questions.

Edit: just realized this was a necro-post from 7 years ago!

A thread is never dead....only resting.
I will bring mine soon to the house, it is totally original....only some years vended (but not too long how it seems), then stored for at least 30.years without being moved. Now, 2 years ago picked and stored in my garage. Can't wait to restore it.
 
I still have my Irish cab and other than the marquee light flickering on and off once in a while, it is still one of the most reliable cabs in my line up.
