Never too old to learn. Had pins in the house since 1980. Used to get free EMs off a dodgy bloke in South Shields who had a second hand shop. Used to come in and see me for spex, I was an optician, before being sent down in Durham nick for handling.
Had a really nice Barracora I’d bought from a local amusement place, stopped working after a couple of years so I took it to the tip! Pre internet days, didn’t have a clue. Didn’t even know they had batteries in them!
That’s unreal, what are the chances! In all fairness you had other things on your mind
Small world indeed!
I’m pretty sure you’ll be a newbie until you’ve bought a FishTales for 3 shillings and fitted a doorbell to it.
This thread makes me really want a FT. I own the original manual but not the machine. It's definitely going to happen at some point.
Fishy is a very tricky decal.
Aligning the sun centrally on the start button, keeping the fish tales text below the coin door complete (not sliding down below the underside or the cab), the dreaded white corners ...
It is all a compromise. Mine is a Manny decal job He did excellent work. It has a non standard door to hide the upper white corners

yeah second that, the front decal was a PITA
Manny used to paint the inside of the cab orange to match the decals, I redid mine in black.
Manny cabs are always first class finish.

Mine is still orange 
Mine isn’t a Manny cab, I did mine myself but felt it had to be kept original.

Looks like mine once had the larger door too, though I can’t see any bits of white peeping through. See why I decided to do the decals.
Is the door size region specific? maybe the smaller doors were imports or visa versa?
I might be wrong, but I think those doors with the rounded corners were the standard ones used in the UK on pins and arcade cabs back in day.
I remember them on most cabs I played on in the early to mid 90s.
