Both sides of my Battlezone cabinet have these quarter sized holes above the sideart. They appear to be a factory drilled hole and they are plugged with a semi-clear plastic plug.
Any idea what these are for? I don't see them on any other pictures of BZ games.

Mine has the exact same holes. I feel like putting those spiraled old school car phone antennas in there.
 
What gives you the impression they are "factory drilled"?

I too have never seen a BZ with those... and can't think of any reason why they'd be there?

The precision of the placement and the cleanliness of the hole points to a hole that was drilled in a factory with precision equipment. It's definitely not a hole drilled by an op or an amature with a hand drill.

Is that plastic dome collapsible? Perhaps a moved power button?

Ok, now we know at least two of these exist, and they are factory drilled holes, but what in the hell are they for?
 
The only thing that I thought of was assembly jig holes maybe because the cabinet is awkward. We should share serial numbers to see if they are close, early, or what.
 
Mine doesn't have them.

Now that's interesting- 3 of these with the same type of holes. Can we see pics? Are they truly all in the exact same place?

Mine doesn't have those either. Very strange.
 
if the holes are drilled the exact same place can´t they have been used for an extra marquee or something?


I think the folks have indicated that there's only one hole on each side, so I'm not sure if that would be used to mount a marquee or not. I'd almost think some type of light fixture before a marquee but hey- I've been wrong before!
