I am just getting ready to shop the game, have an interested buyer. Was
about to sell it for peanuts, then I opened it up. Any help appreciated,
proto, sample or what the hell is this game?

What's the manufacturing date? Should be somewhere. And does it have
the hologram, or did you pull it (it is missing in the picture).

X in serial # = proto

I think we have *2* CFTBL protos on RGP today!

Adi,
Are the boards in the backbox Red as well ???

I just sold a Whirlwind that had the red light boards under the PF, But
I dont believe that made it a Proto ???, Or did it ??
I thought a Proto had to have ALL Red boards, Not just light boards ??,
Interesting !!

Pin-Del,

It almost looks like the cab serial # sticker is laid over the top of
another?

All the lamp boards, or just the single lamp boards?

Sys 11's used single red lamp boards a lot.

The camera is fine, it' the top of the line Nikon CoolPix. My shaky hand and
rush in and out of the shop is entirely different thing. You're telling me
you cannot see the numbers on the sticker?
Try this picture: http://txpinball.com/images/cftbl_mystery/Img1966.JPG

Oh, by the way, did you get your hardware yet?

Best regards,

I went in and looked at it again. No manufacturing date anywhere. The
sticker at the back of the machine is identical to the sticker inside the
cab that I photographed. Serial numbers for the boards, transformer, etc
have the same number on them, cept the power driver board I am changing a
TIP on it.
Hologram is taken out, since I am about to replace that dirty ass, scratched
window. It's in the shop, wrapped in cloth.

I find the digi cam stuff to be like Ford vs Chevy. My father is a
photographer and I've always used Nikon everything, because that's what has
been around.

There are some other nice brands, but I've found every mfg has some good
quality stuff and some junk - depends on what you're gonna spend

I added more pictures: http://www.txpinball.com/images/cftbl_mystery/
The sticker behind the backbox in the back has the same sticker as inside
the cabinet. The sticker inside the cabinet , besides wrinkles, looks like
it's peeled and stuck onto some other sticker, no way UI can separate the
two without major loss. The one in the back is all by itself.

All light boards underneath the playfield, and some opto boards are red.
Same serial number on everything including backbox boards, transformer
etc... No manufacturing date anywhere. The only date I can find, is on a con
door sticker and it reads July 23, 1992.

I've never seen the game before without the mfg. date, even the early TZ
sample I owned had it. Interesting.

You're exactly right John, ..
my favorite has always been Canon, .. I used the Digital Rebel for a long
time and now I have the EOS-20D which is just an amazing camera. If you go
read up on www.dpreview.com I imagine that the new Digital Rebel XT is the
hot camera right now.

Interesting that this one appears to be a re-import as well. What a
day for The Creech!

John Trudeau got back to me and he confirmed it's a sample. Heck of a nice
guy, and very helpful. Treasure-Cove has a very nice example too, he posted
his pictures online. After comparing the right boob on the swimmer girl
graphic on the playfield with his playfield picture, sure enough, it is
indeed a different color on my playfield too.

Great camera but you have to use it correctly:


Elbows tucked into your body to steady it

View through the viewfinder--not the lcd screen

Don't use the zoom--move your feet

Low light will slow shutter speed--hard to get a clear pic(use a tripod)

Squeeze the shutter button--no yipping allowed.



The way NOT to use it:

Extend your arms, plant your feet, full zoom, view through the lcd, and yip
on the button

I think most of my problem was caused by too many pints of English
beer. mostly that Pig's Ear and Old Peculiar stuff I was drinking.
yikes.
