I recently acquired a Battlezone made in Ireland. Somebody had taken the Shroud, game boards coin door and Cp. The cab is in desent shape, but I'm fixing my Battlezone right now. If I can get an itch fix the Irish cab could I still call it an Irish game since the replacement parts wold be US?

Still has wiring harness, working monitor, ar2, power transformer, power cord,marquee light assembly and various nuts bolt washer from when it was raided.

not sure those parts are any different then the us counterparts.

I've never heard of Irish cabs holding a greater value. I could see less though as the art is different then what we here in the us are used to and usually a bit worse looking. I've had Irish art that I was unable to sell because no one cared for it.
 
Is the art different ? Cab shape ? Post pics please .
 
here is a picture. I talked to the previous owner and he had round of a out the coin door slot a little bit more on the edges depend on coins or that he had. I don't think he realized it was an Irish cabinet. The light looks different then on my American version. I can say that the side art on the other side looks even better. It's got a almost cloth like quality to it when I touch it compared to my American version.

It also depends upon the game and cabinet. While I prefer minis, cabarets, etc. there are a few Euro cabinets I like better than their North American UR counterpart (when no cabarets were made), such as Kangaroo, Millipede, and Food Fight. As a result, I'd pay more for those Euro cabinets.
