late production. Early have clear flashers and beacons etc

Do the playfield arrow inserts have individual lamp sockets or are they on a long circuit boards?

The boards came latter.

also there is different cab art on some and a different display with gi in it like millionaire with the credit and ball in play display gone.

If I remember correctly, when it comes to early or late as it relates to the displays, the mounting and/or display openings in the speaker/display board are different between early and late. You may want to take some measurements of that area and send it to your aftermarket display provider and ask which one will work.

need to see the other side of the display board and hopefully I will be able to see if it looks like my early f14 or like my millionaire display mounting style [same basic size display as early f-14 with ball and credit still onboard]. My f14 is packed up right now but I do not mind breaking it out to help.
Would you happen to have or have access to; fire , cyclone or late space station pinball machines? They use the same display as a late f-14.

The early display has 4 holes for the lamps below the readouts

So your game is not a late one.

My F14 has separate light sockets on the inserts and a later display board, so if you are trying to determine what display board you need, that would not be the best indicator.

Just look at the mounting bracket for the display.

You can see the spacing difference.

Many owners have switched their lenses over the years, trying to make their game look like an early one.

One guy was even trying to say his game was a "prototype" because he had installed clear lenses.

yup the early displays have the gi for ball in play, credit and game over like on millionaire [no point on f-14 as there is no highlighted text to backlight] and it lacks the 5th display...but its the same size and shape.

ALSO the early games have a U shaped channel the backglass sits in not an H shape. Mine is an early game and has no H style metal/plastic trim holding the speaker panel facia in that the backglass sits in when installed....know what I mean?.
It is also like millionaire with the plastic speaker display panel mounted with glue/2sided tape. IE;You could remove it with out even pulling the backglass off.
I would bet on looking at your front trim [speaker panel bg mount trim is H not a U] and display mounts..its the later model.

I will verify 100% when I get a picture or 2 of mine with the display off for all to see.

Lots of info in this thread, if you haven't seen it:

Although odds are you have a later one...looks like it based on your mounting pic and Vid's pic of the later pin score display replacement.
