About this guide
A read-only wiki distilled from the KLOV / Arcade Museum Big Blue thread (1373 posts across 73 pages). Built for serious collectors, restorers, and arcade historians.
Methodology
- Thread posts were scraped and extracted into per-page research logs.
- Curated reference guides synthesize variant taxonomy, serial research, restoration notes, and open questions.
- Every claim cites source page/post where possible. Uncertainty is preserved rather than flattened.
- Thread images are archived locally where download succeeded (499 of 854 references).
