Anyone have two or more games within 3 numbers of each other? One I picked up at a flea market a few years ago, the other is an empty cab I recently got from Quarterarcade. Today me and my buddy did a gut swap from the old beat/damaged one to the better one, and I realized they were prob side by side in the factory. Both had the same build date and identical inspection signature.

Yeah I know, pics or it didn't happen. Many many thanks to Anthony at Quarterarcade for the cab- I didn't realize just how bad mine was until I dug it out! First two pics are the old cab, second two pics are the new cab and the completed game again.

Pics are long gone... but at one time I had a Missile Command UR I got from Dean In Riverside CA (#5420). Then a couple months later I was visiting my Ma in Madison WI and picked up another MC UR... Anyway, looking at both of 'em one day, I noticed the Wisconsin MC was # 5419. Whoa!:D
 
My Neo Geo is 19743, I have't had any that had similar production numbers like that but my Gyruss is an extremely low production number 0027.

I've started tracking the Williams parts by the serial numbers and I've had a couple of "whoa!" moments. I got a Bubbles CPU board by itself in a trade about a year ago. I recently got a non-working "Joust" ROM board as part of a box of parts. The ROM board was a Bubbles ROM board with a matching serial number to the Bubbles CPU board from a different source. Whoa!

I have also gotten Power Supply boards (long gone) from different sources that were with in a couple of numbers of each other. None that match other parts unless they were all acquired at the same time though.
