So last month I picked up a plywood, PC-10 arcade cabinet with the two piece glass bezel and a serial number in the 1500's.

When I was removing the side art that came with die cuts for the carriage bolts I found this. I feel like Arm Wrestling was the only other Nintendo cab title to share these attributes. The Punch Outs that I have had came with plexiglass bezels.

Was this a conversion? A factory re-skin? What was it originally? What say you?

i'm going to say unlikely.. just from looking at this pic, there's not much that lines up with carriage bolts for the colors.. likely just remnants of conversion art is my guess.

Check the label on the monitor chassis…the original factory monitor would have the matching 3 letter code to the game before it would leave the factory. This will at least partially answer your question.

Where would I find this label?

I'm hoping that I didn't wash it off.

This was definitely only a dual monitor Nintendo cab. The wiring, etc all in tact. It just seems like it was something before the PC-10.

i looked at pc 10 artwork, there's no red/white together on it to match up..
 
Yeah, the two piece glass was for play choice 10 conversions. It was needed specifically for the gun games. The gun games didn't work with the plexi PO bezel.
 
If I zoom in on the pics I believe I can make out a "P" as the last letter on the label. OP please let us know what you learn.


Ask and you shall receive. Thanks so much for chiming in. I love this group. I had no idea re the lack of dedicated PC-10's or the chassis label.
