If we're talking true Japanese Nichibutsu made Crazy Climbers, there appears to be four basic models (some with variations):
- The white deluxe cabinet
- The white standard cabinet
NOT a mini, roughly the height of a DK machine.
There are some cabinet variations depending on when these were built.
*The first run has a cabinet with the marquee tilting towards the player, no molding
above and below the marquee. Brown t-molding. Trap door for coin box at the
bottom. Marquee holes I believe are in different places from the deluxe.
These have red, orange/yellow and white silkscreened art on a black metal panel vs. the curved plexi.
*The next has orange t-molding, trap door, marquee is flat facing the player. T-molding
above and below marquee. Marquee holes I believe are in different places from the deluxe.
These have red, orange/yellow and white silkscreened art on a black metal panel vs. the curved plexi.
*The next and probably last has orange t-molding, NO trap door, marquee is flat facing
the player. T-molding above and below marquee, larger coin door. Marquee holes I believe
are in different places from the deluxe. These have red, orange/yellow and white
silkscreened art on a black metal panel vs. the curved plexi.Lip on control panel.
- A red mini (I'll post a pic of one of these). Uses a cocktail CP mounted in the middle of the CP.
- Cocktail (some variations with these as well).
My blog post at coinopspace shows examples of these:

The mini Bill posted looks to be almost of European descent, very European looking joysticks, coin-co style door. The other mini is a U.S. made Taito mini.
