2nd: flatcable going to monitor......cut, but I can fix this, got those connectors and pins at work :D

Wow...interesting for sure.
I'd bet that's the original monitor setup for Radar Scope still.
The back angle it has seems a bit steep from most I've seen as any other game.
(could be wrong on that though)
I've never seen one boxed in like that before.
I recognize the one flat board going across the back towards the bottom of the monitor, but that's it. (looks like a cross brace for the cab sides)
Does the black piece on around the front of the monitor come off easily?
One of your pics makes me curious if it has a universal cabability.(vertical or horizontal)
Can you get any more pics of the monitor chassis without dismantling the box around it or removing that cross brace?
The cut ribbon cable is defineately for the video signal input.
The DK's and beyong also had video inverter boards that the signal from the game pcb went into and then from there it went to the monitor. But I don't know if the Radar Scopes had the same inverted color video signal as the rest did. So yours may not even have that piece. (not that the Nintendo games actually used it, it was actually for the NON-Nintendo games)
It probably doesn't have the audio amp either.
The wiring harness connectors look like they are from the Radar Scope era as well.
Those and the early DK boards used several small individual connectors like those where as a Mario Brothers board has an actual edge connector style.
Nice marquee setup. ;D
I would think the light bulb socket configuration is the original and the flourescent ficture was added.
That outlet in the bottom IS 100v !! and is for the monitor.
Absolutely do NOT use anything else for that monitor.
You should be able to trace it back to the transformer in the bottom of the cab.
