Io Moon

The backglass, playfield, and cabinet artwork depict the spaceship and black monolith from the 1968 Hollywood movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". An arrangement of the music from the movie is heard throughout game play. Pictured in this listing is a game (images attributed to Trujillo) that differs from the game in the flyer in two ways: � The side of the cabinet indicates "IO" in red letters instead of "IO Moon" in blue letters, and its monolith is in a different position. � The plastic above the ball shooter is green instead of orange. This game might also be unique in these additional ways: � The location F25 on the auxiliary driver board is equipped with a fuse holder, fuse, transistors, and resistors. � The owner stated no cabinet serial number could be found. Under the cardholder, the playfield is labeled Sleic - TABLERO "iO "- 1� NEGRO (translated: "Table No. 1 Black"). Also pictured in this listing is a game with images attributed to both Miranda and Giovannone. This is the same machine but photographed at different times. It has a cabinet and shooter plastic like the game in the flyer. This owner also stated that no cabinet serial number could be found. We note these other characteristics about this game: � The location F25 on the auxiliary driver board is vacant. No fuse, transistors, or resistors are present. � The owner stated that, under the cardholder, the playfield is not labeled. The two machines described above also differ from each other in the brand of DMD used. Reportedly, the two brands (and a third one, not shown here) are used interchangeably at any given time by all of the manufacturers so we cannot know if either one shown here was an after-factory replacement. We previously showed a date of 1994 for this game but all of the MPU chips we have seen are labeled 1996.
