I see what you mean..

They just had to change it for legal reasons in Europe (or so I read) They still kept the song with "ninja" turtles in it
I had no idea that it would make that much of a difference cabinet-wise (They're both Konami , both exactly the same game and of the same year!)

Oh and I used to watch Teenage Mutant NINJA Turtles, so I guess that does make me a ninja fan hehe..

TMNTfan or TMHTfan (I will adhere to both  ;) )

I had to look it up:

Hero Turtles
 
The altered UK opening sequence.Upon TMNT's first arrival in the United Kingdom, the name was changed to "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (or TMHT, for short), since local censorship policies deemed the word ninja to have excessively violent connotations for a children's program.[2] Consequently, everything related to the Turtles had to be renamed before being released in the UK. The lyrics were also changed, such as changing "Splinter taught them to be ninja teens" to "Splinter taught them to be fighting teens."

The policies also had other effects, such as removing Michelangelo's nunchaku (which were at the time banned from appearing in even 18-rated movies) and generally toning down the usage of all the turtles' weapons. After many seasons of never using his nunchaku, they eventually disappeared entirely, replaced by a turtle shell shaped grappling hook called the "Turtle Line".

By the time of the 2003 TV series, these censorship policies had been abolished, and no changes have occurred in the content of the show. The name "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" remained unchanged for the 2003 show. As a result, in the UK, the 1987 program is still called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles and the 2003 program is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

and i thought it was because pirates hated ninjas...

anyways, you get that beast open yet? 
TMNTfan:
No, sadly..
I keep staring, but I just don't see it..
I opened up the back again, to look at the "ceiling" I talked about. (the one over the coindoor compartment) If that weren't there I could reach the latches from the coindoor easily, but it's glued on...

But even if I have the Controlboard removed, the metal strip the glass rests on is bolted tightly and has electronics on it.. as you can see on the picture...

I guess if the cabinet failed, which it doesn't now (it plays beautifully) I could really try to unbolt the strip, but I can hardly reach the bolts without touching the monitor at various places.

So, I am not in a hurry (this is just for the future and the glass cleaning) but I sure would like some golden tip. The one that'll make me go: 'Ahaaaaa!!!! Eurekaaaaa!!! Why didn't I see that one?'

TMNTfan. 

P.S. at present going: 'Hmmmm..'
