Battlezone with or without scope front window?

I think they are worth about the same. Much harder to find a open face.. I have both.. Love to play the open face better, but the one with the scope looks better..
 
I still think conversion kits / art should be made

I personally prefer the open face, more people can watch from afar :)

If a kit was done, I would convert, but keep the scope if ever I want to change back

not sure exactly how it can be done, but i do have two diff with me. the monitor is upright (normal position as other games)in the non-scope version. however, the scope BZ, the monitor tube is faced upwards with the mirror and cardboard backdrop art behind the mirror! haven't tore the non-scope apart but im sure it doesnt have the backdrop artwork so it has got to look totally different.

obviously, im still working to get these running now so i can tell the diff!!
 
No need for a poll.

If your a tank gunner, your looking through a range periscope when you fire. All 3 tank positions had periscopes. It make no sense in a tank game to have an open face.

Its only good for red baron. Or if you have some little kid playing it.
 
The game was original designed and produced with the scope. The open face kit was only created to appease operators who felt that it was difficult for other suckers, er... patrons, to see the game being played and thus become interested and spend quarters.

Ha ha, sort of like my view, if my family and friends see the game, maybe they'll play it

Even though there are no coins involved, there is not much love for the arcade down my way
 
ok, yall prob know this...first time workin on a BZ with scope. is the back light on the light housing suppose to be a black light or regular light? stupid question im sure, but as i said i never owned one before.....
 
nevermind, just read a post arguing about the "white" and "purple" black light thing. that's why i was confused cause mine rear light was white in color and just replaced it and now bright as hell.....off to find a place that sells those, if not, i guess a real black light will have to do!
