Curious to know why mine came with a silkscreened speaker grill while others didnt. Any info would be great.
This machine is huo and it came with all the goody bag, receipt, all manuals and gold legs (just some info). I'll be checking the serial # in a bit.

thanks!

I forgot to mention something about it. All the leg bolts were stuck in the machine. I had to cut each one off then replace the plates on it. Talk about annoying!

Some have screened grilles, some don't. I've seen plenty both ways, mine doesn't have them.

I think it's the fact that the metals are not of the same material. I've seen a few gold leg bolts broken off in leg plates.

I don't think the grille makes it a prototype.

I would think the early production games got the artwork on the speaker grilles, but I had a proto FS which had blank grilles.

Yes, I agree it's likely an early game. Mine has the artwork on the grills as well and was originally exported to Australia. Over the last several years I've only seen a handful with the artwork. The majority don't have it.

#6 11 years ago

Yeah I was just curious. Ive purchased 3 flintstones in the past 2 years and only this one had the art on the grill.

#7 11 years ago

My current flintstones has it also, and I much prefer it with than without

Mine is without, and I'd prefer with

this is the story: the first flintstones has artwork on the speakergrills. but somebody said that the dino on the grills looks like a penis. so the artwork was removed later...

Now someone has to post an up close picture of that.

It's the same as the left speaker grill, just flipped horizontally:
