Thats the gameroom, he does excellent work and should be able to make you a Naomi one - since Naomi and Egret panels are the same size.
Kannadav, in Italy is also a good source for these:

its green.
I took a picture of it at the fleamarket under an orange tarp.
Hence the weird shade.
One more question. what's the little counter on the side of it?
Is it the times its been played? Or some kind of gaming odometer?
it has 016105 if that is a big deal for you arcade enthusiasts here.
Serial number is 020000051. Is there anything special about it?
I can see from the link posted earlier there's a second half to this? I am a total noob to arcade gaming.
I dont think I'll even use this. Maybe I'll flip it. I have no arcade hardware and probably never will own any.
Thanks ahead of time for the opinions and replies

get a torx security bit to open it up because those CPS2 boards have security batteries that the game dies if the battery dies, not a big deal because you can pay someone to send you pheonixed chips to bring it back to life. But the big concern since you can't test yet is to open it up and make sure the battery hasn't already started to leak acid all over the board. But that is a heal of a score on a CPS2 for $5! I've only found one arcade game in the wild and that was at the midwest gaming classic when I found a blue Marvel Super Heroes board for $50.
BTW that counter is a play counter, so it has been played 16,105 times. pretty cool I have 17 CPS2 boards and none of them have the coin counter.

Nice! With fear of the wrath of recent posters, you can make it a nice wall hanging trophy in your game room. At least until you get the Arcade Cab for it.

Yep, those are the ones, i'm sure you saw in the listing the panel alone is $69, you probably don't want / need the other stuff. If you message him at his website you can do more customized stuff as far as button layout and sizing.
http://www.thegameroom.com/contact-the-gameroom.htmlJasen Hicks also does a lot of custom stuff and does quality work. His pricing is a little bit higher than some other places but you get what you pay for as they say:
https://www.jasenscustoms.com/Arcade-Control-Panels/@flojo - i'll offer $40 shipped for the board if you want to move it quickly. If it has damage, my loss and i'll keep the shell. If it still works or can be phoenixed, i'll come out ahead.
