I'm in the middle of restoring a Sega Turbo Upright and noticed while looking at the arcade flyer for reference that the upright pictured appears pretty different.

- The bezel appears to be different. There is a tachometer and instructions on the right side. Mine has the instructions on the left with no techometer.

-The coin doors are completely different. Sega turbos have an 'over/under' coin door. In the flyer its just one large coin door.

-The metal plate around the gear shift appears to be stainless steel which differs from the black plate with red border.

-The center cap on the steering wheel has completely different artwork.


Was the cab that is pictured just a prototype or was it perhaps a Japanese variation? I think the one in the flyer is pretty cool especially the techometer which is only available on the sitdown model.

Anyone know the story? Thoughts?
