WTB: Nintendo PC-10 and Red Tent Parts

I think I finally found one. Weird I've never seen that before. I guess these cabinets did also come with a weird modified K7000, so maybe they just were all around different.

Yup, these were predominantly built in the US and they basically just tossed whatever they had on hand at them.
 
I've had all of these cabs at one point. The order in which they were produced is as follows:

1 - Gray VS cab: Made in Japan, meant to be a dedicated VS. It generally has an EZ in it, but it may have also have a Sharp.

2 - Black VS cab: Made in Japan, originally was gray but was re-painted black at the factory to be re-skinned. This was used for R-Type and in rare cases, dedicated PC-10 single monitors. I say rare cases, because there are a lot of conversion kits out there that were used on the gray cab or r-type cab. Some collectors have said they have a dedicated PC-10 in this type of cab, although I have never seen one with the "Dedicated single monitor PC10 made in Japan" serial tag. If they are out there, I imagine Nintendo started using the last of the leftover R-Types to make dedicated PC-10s before switching to the cheaper version (see #3 below)

3 - Black dedicated PC10 cab: Made in the USA with a K7000 and a weird sound amp. It was particle board and more flimsy than the original cab. It also has a slightly different speaker grill on top and as you have all called out, it has the single hole for double coin doors (to save money I imagine).
