Crap, I should have known, was working in Hilversum this afternoon.... ;)

Looks very nice indeed ! Cool that the original monitor is also still in there (at least looks like it).

Can't wait to try it :P

I wonder where Marco (Thwocker) got it from in the first place ? Was it part of the Belgian Toy Museaum collection ?

It is actually a different model.  The "standard upright" has room for the Nichibutsu logo to the left of the Crazy Climber logo, additional artwork on the control panel, and artwork on the bezel.  You can see from the coin door too how much more narrow it is.  Nice pickup!   :spaceace:

What size monitor is in it?

Pretty sure it's 15" by the looks of it.

Actually, you can see it on the tube sticker, the tubenr. Starts with 37, that is the diagonal in cm.

that is 14,5669291 inch, so 15" for sure.

It's indeed a 15''..  :D

@ataritoobin & Alpha1: So this isn't the European non-deluxe version, is it?

Totally love the seize of the cab, it's so cute! ;) only bad thing about it is the lack of a marque light.

It's definitely a mini of sorts.  Mine is like the one in the picture I posted above, about 177cm high, probably a little under 60 cm wide, and has a 19" monitor.  It too is made in Japan by Nichibutsu.  Also has no marquee lighting.

Nichibutsu definitely seemed to use whatever cabinets they had available.  CC (I'm assuming later models) also came in the Frisky Tom style cabinet with orange molding, no lower cash door and with marquee lighting.  CC also came in a small red mini cabinet, similar to the Moon Base minis, etc.
