Notes:

Capcom's 'Big Bang Bar' exists only as prototype machines. It was to be produced for release in February 1997, but the Capcom Pinball division ceased operations before the machine was put into production. Model number from the back of the machine is BIG3003-US.

When a whitewood was approved for release to production, a sequentially-assigned project number was assigned to the game and engineering drawings were started. The Project Number for this game reportedly was "PB-3" and may appear in the artwork on the playfield under the cardholder. We note the schematic diagrams are all marked "PB-5".

We are seeking your photo of this number under the cardholder. If it is not there, a photo of the entire area under the cardholder to show its absence is ideal.

This game was remade as PMI/IPB's 2007 'Big Bang Bar'.
