600 is perfect, 300 is also cool, its just as a template, i trace by hand for maximum accuracy anyway.

as long as i have a straight clear shot or scan with measurements in mm. i am very happy.

other art for hangon ?  dont know, there is some at vectorlib:

I got
- the oldest of the two judging by the serial number
- mine was meant for Japan and yours was meant for Europe.....judging mine has a 100V indication and yours 220V.

IMHO it is pretty interesting that yours has 220V......maybe this was just before the license deal with Bertolino ?
Or it was the one they sent to Bertolino so they could copy it
Or it was not aimed for Europe but other 220V area ?

Anyway, love those little details

Trying to figure out the serial numbering they used. Surely 79 and 80 represent the year of manufacture and the next two digits are the month I bet. So....I guess the next three numbers are the number of cabs they had made in that month.

Interesting, does your cab have a plate on the front of the cabinet, to the left, right under the CP?

It'll say "NAMCO LIMITED" and has a few kanji characters in red.

If not, then I think at some point by 1980 or so they went away from the numbering system above and just went to these plates with sequential numbers, regardless of the model.

I might be mistaken, but IIRC, none of the cabs I have have the serial number like that on the rear of the cab!

Also, is there a Namco paper tag on the inside rear of the coin door?  It'll have the production date/inspection date/ or some such stamped on it in Japanese format.

[level42]

No doesnt have that.  Go back to the first couple of pages of this thread for all the inside tags/papers on my machine

Notice the "Made in Japan" label on Syno's machine, this is another hint it was meant for export and also the symbol tags that are on mine seem to be totally aimed at the Japanese market:

About the t-molding Synonym9: I may have also found a source in the US AND HE -can- provide a sample so let's see how that looks.

Would like to see a picture showing the entire backside of your cab, I am very sure the power switch on mine is a hack and I'd like to see the original situation

About the plexi bezel/CPO....look how beautiful it still is on the one in the Japanese arcade museum that Gyruss visited:

HOWEVER, the Puckman seems to have a crack around the joystick.

Gyruss....I know you don't have the time now, but I would LOVE to have the full resolution version of this picture for the card insert:

Sorry Guys, i don't have the pictures anymore, my hd crashed long time ago

[level42]

Argghhh....now you must go back and make a better picture.....or better, I must go there and take a better picture

[Etienne MacGyver]

or even better, go there and collect that machine  

by the way, is your tmoulding just dirty, or is the other just a lighter variant or replaced before 

[gyruss]

Argghhh....now you must go back and make a better picture.....or better, I must go there and take a better picture

Maybe you can contact the owner, he used to be a member here? Btw would love to go back, what a Great country!

[synonym9]

OK, here are something to wonder about, maybe this model was meant to be exported....

[synonym9]

Seems like my Baby also have got enough nikotin for 2 lives... 

[level42]

Yeah already expected that yours had an English insert card. I am still hoping for a Japanese one

You have an japanese one, right?

Since it is original I am happy with the english....instruction cards are meant to be read...

This may hopefully help:
