I have been looking for 3 Coins and found one with a painted over cabinet. I went to the IPDB and found the cabinet art pics (Jay Stafford). Pretty bland artwork, right? Anyway, the artwork on his machine doesn't match the sales flyer! I don't think that I've ever seen this.

So, I go online and can't find a single machine that shows the artwork. Does anyone have a pic they can share?

I guess that artwork was a bit early to come from here -- http://backglass.org/williams/kordek_archives/kordek_archive_cabinet_art.pdf

Odd, that the sales flyer is different. As sparse and simple as it is, it is better than the "correct artwork"!

Mine has the artwork from the flyer.

That's the one for me!

It looks so much better than the one illustrated on the IPDB. Why would they change it? or did they? The plot thickens.

Wow. Never saw one like that.
It must have a low serial number.

Looking on ipdb I see the same cabinet paint scheme on machines before 3 Coins , except Jolly Jokers released a month previous.

Jolly Jokers came from that design book posted above. Maybe they did their own art for 3 Coins and realized they need professional help!

Some of it is carry over from previous designs. My Space Ship has the same head front art but different cabinet art.

But the flyer for Space Ship shows the same art as 3 Coins. Go figure.

And Space Ship was also produced in the boring art from the flyer.

Here is a pic of my 3 coins I just redid the artwork. This was the original design on my game when I purchased it.

Williams used the same side art (on the flyers) on 4 previous games, but distributed games have different art for each game. Maybe they were early production samples to gauge interest before mass producing the cabs with more expensive artwork?
