Post-thread owner reports
Structured reports collected outside the original KLOV thread.
Chris Yabsley (Matic Arcade) — KLOV bigrussel
Gen 2 Big-box Top with tall detached marquee; maps to OP variant V10 (QSound tall detached standard 2P).
| Attribute | Detail | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Generation / subtype | Gen 2 Big-box Top (tall detached marquee box) | reported |
| OP variant | V10 — tall detached, standard 2P CP | reported |
| Control panel | Standard 2-player (not wide AvP / Slam Masters) | reported |
| Paneling | Blue laminate exterior (not paint, not vinyl wrap) | reported |
| Q-Sound | CPB-001A amp + CPT-002 transformer; CSP-001A speakers (SER 114812 rear-right / 114818 rear-left) | reported |
| Q-Sound authenticity | Likely factory — Capcom-labeled CSP-001A enclosures with bracket mounts match acblunden2 Q-Sound speaker description (p33 #656) | reported |
| Power supply | Peter Chou ATX-style PSU | reported |
| Wiring | Appears to be original full-cab harness | reported |
| Shell tag | Model 020800941, serial 2 — inside cab (small sticker) | reported |

Notes: Q-Sound stack: CPB-001A amp (Brady Dist.

Shell serial 2 contrasts with NQS serial 106 (p45 #892). Peter Chou PSU (p46 #911). Paneling matches thread Gen 2 melamine/laminate-finish reports (p37 #728, p61 #1209) — distinct from vinyl-wrapped Gen 1 (p72 #1423) and from Chris’s separate Gen 1 cab with painted finish.

Open serial research questions
- Are Dynamo Gen 2 serials global across Sharkfin / Big-box / Snub-top?
- Does serial 106 imply an early Gen 2 production run separate from Gen 1 four-digit tags?
- Relationship between RF849 internal marks and factory serial stickers.
- Decode of 0208009xx suffix digits (941 vs 971 vs 921 vs 931 vs 920).
- Whether marquee and shell serials share one sequence or run independently per SKU.
