I recently acquired this Grand Lizard and I am wondering if anyone can help me with some info on it. It has a prototype serial number (with an x in it), the original Paul Faris BG, and cabinet artwork unlike any Grand Lizard that I have ever seen. Any info beyond what I can find via ipdb and google is appreciated.

Neat find. Is it running a System 11 board set? I thought the whole point of ditching the proto backglass was the alphanumerics that came with System 11.

It is running system 11 boards. I have the standard Grand Lizard BG too, and the openings for the displays are in different locations.

I have a GL but never saw a proto like yours before. Perhaps post your query on the GL page on Pinside. A few if the members seem to know a lot about GL.

I picked up a GL on sunday, and i was literally just wondering what the original plastic set would have looked like instead. Thank you!

Quoted from Helixthree:

I now have this game sitting next to my other GL. The blue color on the plastics is so different from the blue on the production playfield.

I am considering going through all the channels to get these made at some time but if the color was adjusted it might look better. At some point and time I will put some proto plastics on production game and take pics.

That’s a great find. You should share your pictures with IPDB.
There are a lot of differences!

RustyLizard I would love to purchase a set of the repro plastics. So glad you snagged the proto - you deserve it!
