    Quoted from PinJump:

    My STTNG has a coin door with three slots: 1DM, 2DM, 5DM. That's gotta be a dead give-away for a German re-import, yes?

    Yep. My TZ has 500L on its three coin door slots. Has to be Italy.

    Quoted from aobrien5:

    Curiously, my BSD is also a German re-import! It was all switched over long before I got it. Only weird thing is that they didn't reinstall a US service outlet inside the cabinet (assuming there is supposed to be one in that hole there...).

    Yeah...When I got mine the language was set on German and still not switched over w/hardware... I also heard that code on imports can be different (like software bugs), but that can easily be fix by installing US code/price/Lang.

    Mine must have been routed in the U.S. street coming back because it has an American coin door already.

    But now I have to ask, where would you wire this outlet to?

    easy. as I stated in the pm to you the colored wires match up to what you already have in the box. black to black, green to green and white to white (sorry for the crappy photoshop job)

    Quoted from johnwartjr:

    You sure about that? I've opened up a few domestic games, and I don't recall the ground wire ever attaching with a screw.

    hi john,
    trust me, I've been specializing in only a few areas of restoration; manufacturer stickers and line filters. the image that I posted is the exact service outlet hardware used in over 50 different wpc titles that I've personally inspected. I'm quite the stickler when it comes to doing what I do.
