Title: Bonzini B90 conversion to B60?
Post by: jinhopark on November 09, 2010, 02:50:26 PM

I am curious...If I bought a Bonzini B90 now, is it possible to later convert it into a B60 coin-op unit?

I will go out on a limb here...Nope 

I am sure Alan will chime in, but I would guess not.

I wouldn't think there would be a way either, but Alan sent me an email many moons back about the B60 that said, "We install the coin mechanism before it ships please allow 3-5 days for installation before shipment."  So it sort of made me wonder that there was a slight possibility that maybe he took B90's and converted them into B60's, probably not but I wanted to know for sure...

Jinhopark,

For several reasons the coin op needs to have a split cabinet, the B-90 doesn't. Seeing as the B-60 has a split cabinet and can easily be set for free play (and reversed just as quickly) why not just get a B-60? The hinged cabinet makes cleaning/replacing the playfield simple and the storage space inside is significant.

I'm sort of in the used market right now...and I've been seeing some really amazing deals lately on B90's, but ultimately I would like a B60 to go along with my other coin-op games.
