I have a harness that appears to be from a cocktail made by Atari but COULD be a cabaret.

The only information I have from the harness are the 2 tags numbers. The main harness is tagged :

ATARI A041133-01 REV A. BCCCM01

The tag is located right next to the 44 pin and 24 pin connectors.

The other tag on the harness is for the video portion:

VOLTA A040414-01 REV-A

Finally, the volume control panel has a part number of 037865-01 REV A

The only thing I can find is the volume control referenced in a DigDug cocktail manual. However, the harness does not coincide with these part numbers.

The harness is for a raster game and has 2 different raster monitor hookups for different pin configurations. As far as I can tell, there is wiring for player one and player 2 buttons but not for any main controls like a trackball or joystick.

Finally, there are only 3 hookups to the AR board that I can find:

a 9 pin connector populated with 8 pins, a 6-pin populated with 4, and a 4 pin populated with 2. Is this indeed a DigDug cocktail harness? I'm just trying to figure it out so I can either use it or sell it to somebody that could use it.

I also tried to follow the numberal progression of harness numbers but ran out of the early model harness numbers after Millipede. From then you go to Major Havoc and then system 1 and Gauntlet harnesses. Anybody have a reference that I am missing.

Yes, I checked Flippers.com and Scott's site and looked at numerous manuals on line at vernimark. Just trying to find something to verify my suspicion that it is a dig dug.
 
I also went through a shitload of Atari Manuals looking for a match, but didn't find any. When I get more time, I'll look some more...
 
My guess would be one of these games from 1983. These are from the Atari spreadsheet that I have been compiling over the years. At the moment it isn't very complete, but the part number falls between a couple of these. These are all the 1983 games.

Also, just as an FYI, the main wiring harness number on my Dig Dug cabaret is A038392-01. However, it is hand written and the game came out of the Atari engineering lab, so the production cabarets may have used a different number.

My upright Dig Dug does not have any tags on the harnesses.

Ancient post. Was going through stuff and was determined to figure this out. I believe it is for a Crystal Castles Cocktail. The CCC in the tag sure points me that way. Harness has the correct connectors and it is definitely for a cocktail. Just posting here for reference sake. I know DiginDug82 is looking for one and he has been messaged.

Glad you finally figured it out.
