It's def a bbhpos kit. The monitor/tv I'm trying to use is a 32" LED TV. Was wondering if anyone knew if another style of TV would work. Plasma maybe? Or is the CPU, I/O, guns strictly for the old CRTs?? Any info is appreciated. And also all info given so far is all greatly appreciated !!!! I see the newer Model BBH around town using flat screen televisions.

Do you have a picture of what you have? Since you mention you had the CRT, you most likely have the light guns, which as several people here have mentioned, will NOT work with anything but a CRT. The video that wa posted explains the theory and details of how the lightguns work.
In my previous response, I posted a link to the manuals for the BBH series. You can go there and look at the one for the 27" cabinet and the 42" cabinet to see the differences. At the end of each is a list of part numbers. You'll be able to determine which I/O board you have by matching the part number from it to that manual. There are also manuals for the 2 kits, so you may want to check there as well, since you say you have a kit in a non-dedicated cabinet. Once you know which of the 4 versions you have, you'll be able to better determine what you need. I assume that the Kitted versions are just CRT vs LCD versions like the 27" and 42" are.
With that said, I believe you probably have 2 options to get it to work:
1) Fix or replace the CRT for the cabinet. Since you've cut the cabinet already, you'll probably need to figure out how to mount it again.
2) Purchase all of the pieces needed to change over to the other version. This is probably going to be pricey, as you'll need new guns, gun board, I/O board, etc. The computer may also be different. I am not too familiar with what changed to be able to say for sure.
Light guns are strictly for CRTs only. I assume the newer bbh models have newer guns that come with some sort of sensors... kind of like a Wii remote.
This is correct. There is a new LED board shown in the Showpiece cabinet that I believe is the "sensor bar" for the new guns. The guns have separate part numbers between the versions as well.
