I also noticed it had some additional switching power supply, not sure if this was added later but it looks like the tube and PCB are powered separately?
Cheers

By the control panel markings, it looks like the original stick was a two way. No idea what it was, but it didn't start life as Gyruss. Maybe some kind of Space Invaders clone.

Hey there, you guys are all correct. The cabinet started its life out as a Japanese Space Invader machine that was placed in coffee shops here in Japan. I tried to find an original picture of a cabinet and was able to come up with a few as well as a working 1/6th scale replica.
Here they are. Great find by the way. They typically run about 2500 dollars here in Japan as so few still in existance.
