To the esteemed Pole Position lovers out there.
I have been working on getting my PPII working. I purchased it on Ebay for 250 and it has been giving me much grief--only purchased it because the Boards. Bob R sent the rebuild kits for the ARIIs and the Transformer and after rebuilding the Xformer it is now back to life. Being very cautious, I only played a few games and took out the ARIIs for next chance I get.
1) Is there a sure fired way to tell if this PPII is a dedicated or a converted from PP? The reason I ask is there is a couple of things different from my PP cabinet: Glass is different, fan/duct above the PCB box, tach is replaced in front with pics of tracks, NO fan above monitor(leads to Q2), Marquee is different and side art is the same.

2) Is there suppose to be 2 fans for PPII or just 1?

Any info would be much appreciated.
 
Not entirely true... that "other cabinet" is the Irish cabinet. I actually owned one of the factory PPIIs in an American cabinet at one time. Sadly I no longer have it. It has the same side art as the Irish cabinet at that website. The sideart is usually the quickest way to tell if the cabinet is a dedicated PPI or PPII. I don't think any of the PPII conversions got the new sideart.
