Hi
I have this excellent condition Barracora that came out of a home, been there since about 83. It wasn’t until I started looking at other Barracoras did I realize the cabinets are always blue, but mine is red. Anyone have info on early production or prototypes?
Serial number is 516389 , posted it to serial number data base, seems to be way off any other Barracora listed.

Quoted from jibmums:

Looking at your photo of the serial number stamping on IPSND, it looks like where the black paint is flaked off around the edges, there is not only some red paint visible but also some blue paint. Can you look at that up closely and see for sure? If that's the case, perhaps the cab was printed blue first, then red, then black, like they were trying out color combos in some unorthodox method. Either way, very cool find.

Looking at the serial number and can not detect any blue paint

Quoted from jibmums:

Here's part of a screen capture from your photo on IPSND where I zoomed in on the 6. There's definitely a layer of blue underneath the red.
I'm actually surprised that there's red showing up underneath the black paint also. To me that would indicate that the entire cab was painted red first (and possibly blue before that), then black over it.

Good eye...I just had Lasik and my up close vision ain’t as great as it was! Let me get a couple more pics of that area and maybe below a leg

Indeed some blue showing under bottom edge

Quoted from jibmums:

Pinball archaeology!
You can rule it out as a former Jungle Lord, as the main cabinet for the four double playfield games was a little taller in the back. The most recent blue cabinet game was Alien Poker at eleven months prior to Barracora, and the only games released between the two were the double playfield games. Likely it's either a repurposed Alien Poker, or a blank cab that served as a vehicle for testing paint colors.
Have you checked the top of the backbox for other serial numbers? I wonder if there's a different stamping up there.

Paper tag that says Pharoh
Same serial number on head top
