I have been sitting on this one for some 20-years now in my old Archives

 

Diamond Continental II

Looks like (14) coins and that unique Bonus in the center there in white`

 

Now this is older and straight out of the Dead Years`

 

Check out that unique “scroll-work” running up both sides of the backglass`…I think we have seen that before`

 

(maybe New Continental Golden was like that)

 

 

Now I was kind of “on-the-fence” on adding this here in my “Kits” Section

 

“II” in the name suggests to me that there is also an “original” out there somewhere`

 

So just maybe this is a legit Bingo, but until we get a bit more information`…I am calling this an upgrade`

This labeling on this one is a little different`…both colors and text`

So, this is definitely a second backglass`

 

 

 

Here the glass is in a cabinet giving us our best proof that these were really out there`

 

This one is also different, where we see the Extra Ball features populated`

 

 

The center Bonus is gone and the “multi-function” Value Meter is labeled differently`

 

It might just be better lighting and e=better photo quality, but overall the graphics and detail seem much crisper`

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is definitely a story here`…So, stay tuned`
