Sharpshooter Prototype? Designed by Roger Sharp - TNT Amusements
We got in for an overhaul a possible prototype SHARPSHOOTER pinball machine. A collector bought it at the 2010 Allentown PA show and we took it back to TNT for repair/overhaul. The cabinet was stained black and appears professional but unfinished completely. The lightbox insert was handwired with things written on the back of the board, but because there was no allowance for the MILLION bulbs, we wondered if it came off of another Game Plan game with similar lightbulb features.
The backglass has Roger Sharp's signature on the top (we covered it with mylar)...who knows...was the glass brought to a show for signature?? Did a production Sharpshooter fall off a truck and someone made their own cabinet and moved everything over to it? The metal shielding int he head appears to have been used just this one time...no telltale signs of the staples pulled out and redone....and it looks like factory, so thats why I am still not really sure the cabinet WAS home made! What do YOU think? Todd
