Remember this old nugget?

This was the Bomb Jack I made from what may have been an ATW cab that I stumbled on. I redrew all the art from some NOS pieces another collector let me borrow and worked with @ThisOldGame to put this all together. As with most of my previous collection, it went on to another KLOV collector and has made the odd appearance over the years.

I want to build another, with a slightly different approach, so I've been pulling parts together. Going to try for OEM everything that you would have received in the original kit.

What we have so far

- Non-working original board stack.
- Working bootleg board stack.
- Tehkan-to-jamma converter.
- NOS Deluxe acrylic bezel (Thanks @Zarloffson) - very hard to find as there was a standard kit and a deluxe kit, many operators weren't interested in the extra cost of the deluxe so went with the standard which came with a generic cardboard bezel.
- NOS CPO (Thanks @p1001).
- Donor cab - unsure of original game/manufacturer, but solid, complete in good shape with a working monitor and unusual coin door situation.

Still needed

- NOS uncut marquee
- NOS side art

The donor cab.

I'm sure someone here may be able to identify it, no manufacturer stickers or plates on it. It's not exactly small like the last one, but it has all the right bones and a friend of mine is even dropping it off on my driveway today so I'm going to run with it.

That beautiful Deluxe bezel. I absolutely love the colors and design of this thing.

CPO - Full size uncut. At first I thought the edges were damaged, but this is just the way the screen printing was on them, it's a full 25" wide so we have room to trim to size.

Your original cabinet was manufactured by a small company out of California called Suzuki Enterprise. The cabinet borrowed heavily from early data east deco cabinets. I do believe Shoei and Omori Electronics also made a similar cabinet in Japan.

Your donor cabinet was manufactured by Grand products and was used in a number of games, mainly trackball titles. The most popular title bundled in this style cabinet was Coors Bowling.

Thanks, I knew you'd bring the knowledge.

As the machine was technically fully working I threw it in the lineup for my daughters party tomorrow. Robotron got so offended that it glitched out completely. :ROFLMAO:
