Electric Yo-Yo was one of the few Taito America games released in this style cab. Space Dungeon, Qix, Zookeeper, Kram and EYY are the 5. I only need Kram to complete my collection... Jungle Hunt was hurriedly modifies by Taito America as a cry from the Edgar Rice Burroughs Estate complaining about the likeness in Jungle King so I don't count this a a true Tatito America game...

As you can tell this game has been converted to Elevator Action. I plan on converting it back and need a monitor bezel, marquee and control panel. Anyone have one??? You can see below that it still has the right CP but 4 extra buttons were added which ruins it. Also you can see the original EYY marquee under the EA one... Obviously it must be a sticker of some sort, never have seen that done like that...

This game had a weird Alarm added. Professionally done and says something to the effect that it is against Virginia Law to tamper with this game. Funny thing it is not connected to anything on the inside so it might have just been a ruse... Another weird thing about this game is the back has an extra plastic piece (need a better pic) for the monitor neck I guess though it is not in the middle of the cab. No other cab of this style has this though not having seen a Kram I can't say that I am 100% sure.

Unfortunately I have no room at my house and here they sit in storage, along with 14 other misfits...

I never played this game from what I remember in the arcade but enjoy it in MAME. If anyone has any parts for this they want to trade or sell , please contact me.
