Hi remy,
I checked right now the photos and if I've got to say that who sold you the game has NOT told you everything:
1) The cab that sold you and have been paid as original (and yours is original indeed) but does Not have the cinematronic logo and model/serial plate on it:
Here is what I'm talking about:
Here is from my cabs:

Otherwise you can not know even know the exact number or if it is a replica!
Anyway I checked the photos and I saw the type of wood used and I confirm:
it is an original DL cab
2)
You 're right, but the DLP members told me that it has already been converted in the past
Sure, I confirm it to you,
your space ace is a space ace conversion kit insered in a DL Cab
3)
there is no metal board and cinematronics logo but don bluth sticker as you can see
The bluth sticker you have is originally at the end of the repro side arts sticker made and sold by arcade renovations (past) and quarter arcade (today)
If you buy a paid of side arts of DL or space ace today check the border you'll find the same sticker!
4) I checked the photos and curiously the slide door where you usually place the Laserdisc player on is NOT present, and this is NOT fair
Since the slide door is important to open the game in every moment, check the player (or change the disc) and or remove easily (and safely) the player
The only other way to remove the Ld Player is to open the back door but you would fine to work near the monitor dangerous zone (end of the tube - BEWARE please)
when you work around the monitor always dress plastic shoes, no chains or rings, be sure somebody is always present near you, DO NOT touch while removing the player the end of the monitor
It would be to make a slide door to avoid any contact with it
If you only think to remove the Wells gardner (the monitor) make it done ONLY by a certificate technician,
DON'T DO IT BY YOURSELF!
the tension inside the monitor can KILL YOU
it is Extremely dangerous if not previously downloaded before removing!
And I've seen that your Wells gardner monitor doesn't have the original cover plate over the end of the tube (IT IS DANGEROUS - Must be covered!!)
5)
my gameroom is at the 7th floor
Don't tell this to me man
I'm at the 3rd floor, and I Really know what it means..
6)
I want to change a lot of thing to get it in mint condition, i found some Cinematronics coin door sticker and a brand new coin door wiring (mine is hacked).
I want a new complete DL wiring from quarter arcade, new WG screen, vinyl cover ,side arts and cpo.I also need screws, tinted glass , bezel.....
I really want to be able to play both games in the same cab and i really can't buy another because i have no more money to spend
What i want is the cab like it was in the 80's and even better
What do you think i should do?
Simply: have a repro cab
If you look for a perfect cab as brand new, you don't have to waste money on importing a cab from the Us (like we had to do ten years ago, with the sole intention to replay these games!)
But simply take the exact measures of the cab, and make it identical
I.e. a reproduction
Spend less and have more than spent!
You want to play the two games?
Daphne handle that,
and much more! (don quixote, esh, etc..)
Spending less than 1000 euros you have a cab like new
I opened a thread before going in Japan last march, but I was not able to update for work
I'll update it about the reproduction of an original DL cab soon as I can with some photos..
check here in the next days

Ps= the 3002 where is written? I did not find it.
It is not clear this script:
About the screens what type of Wells and gardner Finny used (reference if possible), and what do you think about it?
