My game is set up elsewhere but I'll try and go see it today and get you some answers.

The head circles are the exact same size as the cab circles. Three inches in diameter.

This is the right side of the head. You can transfer all the following dimensions to the left side.
The other head pieces are just a touch different. On the cab the blue design is 2 1/2 inches at the widest spot. On the head the blue design on the bottom is 2 inches at the bottom and the right one is 2 1/4 inches. At the very tip they are about the same. One half inch
The left blue design rises 11 3/4 inches to the apex on top. The right one is one inch from the bottom at the point and 20 1/8 inches at the apex on top from the bottom of the head.
The left blue design starts 3 7/8 inches from the front of the head. The right blue design is three inches from the back of the head at the point.
The red designs are 1 1/4 inches wide at the bottom. The left one is 5 1/4 inches tall. The right one is 6 3/4 inches tall. The left one starts 1 1/8 inches from the front. The right one starts 3/4 inch from the back.
The three circles are 6 7/8, 15 1/4, and and 22 inches to the bottom of the circles from the bottom of the head. They are all centered on the head left to right.
Hope this is all clear to you. If not holler at me. The game is only a short drive away and I can get whatever you need.
Quoted from Quercus22:Here is the original River Boat cabinet artwork, you can scale from this.
All the best, Richard

Interesting. Mine is completely original yet it doesn't have those comma like pieces on the head. Pictures at IPDB don't show them either.
Great job on the sanding. My experience is the wood on the early to mid 60s games for both Gottlieb and William's is higher quality than what they used later.
Quoted from Quercus22:Presumably the art was changed on the actual games, also, the circles on the back box are not centred.
It's interesting to see this stuff and it can help when restoring games that have been repainted.[quoted image]
Should have known that came from Duncan Brown. I was wondering how you had it.
I don't know what to tell you on the circles but when I put my tape on them the center of the circles was dead in the middle of the cab. If they are off center it isn't more than 1/8". I can see on the drawings they don't look centered but in actual practice they are, and since those commas are missing it's not hard for me to believe they changed the location of those too. In any case it will be close enough either way.
