Good to know the work matches with the audio effects. I forget how well the Exidy manuals were designed back in that era compared to other coinop game companies back then when it came to publishing repair service manuals to do repair work on coinop cabs.

And another Exidy example.

I don't remember Star Cruiser cab myself, but Ramtek probably had to make do with artwork overlays or backdrops to put some artificial dressing to make the game enticing as best possible. It could be that if Star Cruiser used a bezel piece, it probably had backlit lamps to display game status etc.

Ramtek Clean Sweep bezel piece (waiting to be scanned), which I played many times in mid 1970s, had a blue tint overlay taped to back of bezel to provide artificial color to monitor and the backlit lamps would illuminate a portion of bezel to help provide gameplay status info to the player.
