Modifying a Beast Busters: Second Nightmare cabinet

Hi guys,
I work for a TV show. We recently bought a Beast Busters: Second Nightmare cabinet if full working condition. I have a couple questions.

1. Does the attached manual apply to Beast Busters: Second Nightmare? Is it Revision 1 or Revision 2?

2. In terms of modifying the video input/output. Is it possible to change the monitor to output at 24 FPS? Is it possible to record the game directly from the board itself? Is it possible to play this recording through the monitor on the cabinet?

I'll explain. We want to show the final boss fight over and over so we can film it. I'm wondering if we recorded that sequence in the game, could we then play that recording back through the monitor? Or would we have to replace the monitor entirely?

I hope that wasn't too confusing.

3. Does anyone have any images or links to a tutorial on tinkering with this particular cabinet? I've found that its pretty rare, but maybe you guys can help.

Thanks so much!

I don't see a link to a manual so I'm not quite sure what you are asking or how to properly answer the question.

Don't know about the FPS but there is a device you can buy to plug in line with the monitor that allows you to output the video signal so it can be recorded. I believe you simply plug RCA cables from the device to your recorder if I remember correctly. Since the monitor is likely a CRT monitor it is basically a stripped down TV. It shouldn't be too hard to send a recorded video to play on the monitor.

Hopefully someone will chime in with a link to the adapter that allows you to output the video so it may be recorded.
 
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm discovering. Too bad. That would've been a good workaround.
 
Can't you pull the board and put it on a Test Rig/supergun to output to a recordable format?
Similarly you can output the video through a RGB -> component/S-Video device.
