Maybe a bit of a blessing since it was enough to keep out someone that would have likely butchered that game and turned it into a Street Fighter clone cab.

Correct. I noticed that part when taking a look at photo. The Meadows Dead Eye game is one of those that is still a mystery of if it uses an overlay piece or has some color tape set up like what was done with Exidy Circus and Midway Clowns. To me, the only memorable Meadows game I recall was Meadows Bombs Away.....and even then I had forgot that when a player pressed the button to drop bomb, there is no whistle sound being played when bomb is dropped onto the targets.

That was a sound effect that was left off of Meadows Bombs Away, but was added to many similar games that came along in following years (coinop or non-coinop games)

I vaguely recall playing Electra's Flying Fortress a couple times, but don't recall if it was at a miniature golf course or in one of the arcades at a local mall.
