I have had this Puckman cab for years now. I have two boards for it but not working. Monitor was removed but believe I still have it. Question I have always had was what company produced this game. There is no manufacturer identification on it as far as I can see. Anyone have any knowledge of this machine?

They don't have a good side profile of the cab,but it looks to be the same.

This is not the Namco version that is shown on KLOV. Years ago I was told there was a generic or bootlegged version of the game and that possibly this is it. I have seen a few ebay auctions with items for this machine. One of which I bought an extra board from. The pcb has no markings. Im very curious to who manufacturered this machine.
 
Have any pics of the boards? That might help us tell :) I know Falcon did some Puckman bootleg boards.
 
Thats not an original puckman. Its actually a pacman cab with aftermarket artwork on it. I believe the art is willis. Im no expert on the puckmans but im quite confident thats a converted pac cab you have. I would love to get my hands on a real puckman cab one of these days to complete my collection.
Post a pic of the pcb so we can see that. I have a couple original puckman pcbs here. They look alot like the midway version but are set up for an AC power supply and it appears they must have used an external audio amp because the boards are set up for audio but they are not populated. Also, the puckman boards use 2716 eproms instead of 2532. They have the sync bus and vram daughter cards but they are much bigger than the midway ones.
 
Im not sure its a midway cabinet. I thought it was at first but there are differences if you look at the back or inside the cab. Looks like someone made it to look like a midway cab. Kind of wierd. Here are pics of the two boards I have.

Yep, I would say those are Falcon Puckman boards. You can see the Falcon logos to the right of the edge connector. My Falcon Crazy Kong boards have the same falcon stencil on them (and one has the printed label too). Those 2 look like they have the audio amp section on the board though, unlike Riptor's.

Could you compare the roms of the falcon boards to mame, to see which set they match?
