I went to view the machine on Saturday as well as I was at the end of another monster trip picking up bandits from Cheshire to Herts to Eastbourne, so given I liked the looks agreed to have a look.
As per Paul the Cabinet was a later made up item and the rear electronics panel looks to have been cut from the original and stuck to the new rear. The machine did look crude in some ways but almost certainly made by a company rather than scratch built. Unfortunately one of the rotor motors did not work, so decided to leave. If in original cabinet I may have taken a chance as I still liked the look - great theme.
