I had time to see video finally. Good work as usual making video and also same with photo as well. The cab when shipped back then off assembly line does have an artwork decal at the base below the coin door slot.
I had to refresh my memory and look at Guided Missile parts catalog to see it uses 1 scenery backpiece along with a left interior side piece and a right interior side piece to form the entire visual backdrop appearance.
The interior scenery photo image is definitely a great start to improving Guided Missile. To join in with others that posted earlier, thanks for doing this.
The parts catalog lists the card that provides the visual explosion effects for left and right players as a "explosion buytrate" (part no. 0623-00909-00SC). It is held in place by two bottom screws. It might be possible to carefully remove and use a flatbed scanner to scan the "explosion buytrate", but maybe get by with a digital camera capture without having to disassemble the piece.
If any dedicated, hardcore Guided Missile fan is a perfectionist and wants visual explosion effects to be perfect then keep an eye out for spare parts auctions on ebay and maybe the explosion buytrate card might turn up as an auction listing and if getting the piece, then scan piece through flatbed scanner. I have doubts if the visual explosion effect will be possible to create in the artwork layout at this time. Just getting the background scenery itself is a terrific start.
The discrete audio emulation is eventually possible if Guided Missile logic schematics is online. If it isn't online yet, I do have Guided Missile logic schematics myself because I sent it to Derrick to do analog audio work, but he no longer had time and mailed the paperwork back to me.
