Title: Double Dragon 2 dedicated machine identification
Post by: bomberoza on December 22, 2015, 12:43:37 AM
Hi there. Need to identify what's original color of control panel on dedicated Double Dragon 2 machine. What is ok and what is not? I'm afraid that yellow one is only dirty or damaged by the the smoke or sun. Any help needed, thanks.

It should be the same grey colour as in the bezel.

Seems right for me too, but I'm not sure because of this. Take a look:

That doesn't look faded at all. I wonder if they did 2 versions of it in that case. Mine was definitely grey though!

The grey one is nicer, okay I wish to have the same version. At the moment a guy offers me this yellow version and I cannot found any info about it. I need to be sure that the yellow CP is okay and I don't need to find yellow bazel & marquee because this is completely different version.

Seems like they were manufactured like that, here are other examples with the yellow cpo:

maybe one of them is a  "conversion Kit"


Only one cab was produced  but the game was available on 2 size monitor 19" and 25"
maybe a diferent color for each one ?

sometimes overthinking leads to nowhere ... maybe just a printer mistake , no more...

Yes this all should be true. The better looking one is the grey one. Maybe I'd better wait for that.
