Trivia
One of the few bootlegs to use its own generic cabinet. The original cash box is huge, being able to carry well over 10,000 10p peices!
Cabinet Information
The bezel has a nice mirror effect and the marquee is back-lit. The wood cabinet is smaller than the Namco's Puckman.

Technical
The PCB was made by Nichibutsu and identifies itself as "Puckman 3." However, "Namco" is missing from the title screen -- only "(c) 1980" is displayed -- as if the original manufacturer has been erased from the program.
Fixes
Monitors (Electrohome G07) tend to show a distorted screen over the years. Replacing all the electrolytic capacitors in the line drive usually cures this.
