I still see a bolt in that picture!!!
Arcades around where I grew up didn't have any japanese cabs back in the day - of course now they're filling up half of the arcades.

I've seen it different from cab to cab. Some cabinets had them showing some didn't. I know a lot of Williams cabinets didn't have any bolts showing, like Joust, Robotron, Defender, but some Midway ones were random. For instance, classics like the Pac-mans, Galaga, Galaxian had bolts showing (the japanese ones had them hidden under a full bezel/CP plexi sheet), but the newer midways like NBA Jam didn't. Simpsons did though...which is weird 'cause they both used the same joystick hardware. ???
Then of course, it was random when it came to kits. I've seen Street Fighter II's in the Movie-land Arcade in downtown Vancouver (around where you live eds1275) that had kit-installed dynamo cabinets sometimes with and without bolts. For those cases I'm assuming it was dependent on how lazy the Arcade OP was...
