@7146aaron i know this is an old post but just want to confirm, so Atari did make new UR cabs for PPII when this game came out, they werent just conversions of the original PP cabs. This aside from the wider UK/Irish cabs, looks like a pregnant PP cab in the pic/post above, lol.

that's what I thought (they were kits) but Aaron's post seems to state there were new US PP II cabs. The picture above is of the PP I US style cab (non UK) with the PPII artwork. He says there were 1,500 made.PP2 was a kit game in US but had dedicated Namco cabinets in other parts of the world (Irish cab). Here's a pic of my PP2 cockpit, you can see some of the PP1 artwork underneath:

the second article you linked kinda leaves room for the possibility there may have been (new/non-kit) PPII cabs in the US...
As for the cabinets, it would appear that virtually all PP2's in the USA were only offered as upgrade kits to existing PP1 cabs.
to me I read that as... "so you're saying there's a chance"
I gotta believe there is a possibility that some operators/etc that perhaps did not buy PP I and not having a cab to upgrade, would need to purchase an entirely new cab when PP II came out. If that were to be the case, I would think they took existing PP I cabs, used the PP II artwork, marquee, 4 track control panel and glass and sent them out the door from the factory as brand new units. I guess we'll never know for certain unless someone has ties to anyone that worked @ Atari at the time and know's the full story.
See Post #6.I had a pole position 2 upright but it was a long time ago. The art was different and I seem to remember the cab being slightly different. If it was a conversion it was done really well.
