The katakana for Tomato is stylized like three oddly-shaped tomatoes. The artwork depicts anthropomorphic cartoon vegetables, including a large angry orange pumpkin king wearing a crown, a cucumber knight holding a sword, and two smaller round red tomato characters at the bottom near a castle. Text on the bottom reads "©1988 HUDSON SOFT", "HFC-RT", and "MADE IN JAPAN".
Nintendo service department bulletin #TKG.05 In order to prevent the accumulation of free credits by kicking the coin door, a slam switch should be added. In all cases the switch (a "normally open" weighted reed switch) should be mounted on the coin door. Connect one side of the slam switch to the brown wire on the coin switch (ground). The other side of the slam switch should be connected to a wire which will be run through the wiring harness to the CPU board. At this point the installations vary for the five (5) games.
Nintendo service department bulletin #DJR-01 It has been brought to our attention that a flattened straw or similar object can be passed through the center opening in the upper hinge. If the object makes contact with the coin switch, it can be used to run up multiple credits. The solution is to block the opening with a flange made of wood or metal. This flange should be mounted to the inside of the cabinet and can be obtained from us as a retrofit kit. This problem is present in all Radar Scope uprights, Donkey Kong uprights and early Donkey Kong Junior uprights.
Nintendo service department bulletin #DJR-02 It has come to our attention that there is a problem with the model #730A coin selector in that a nickel or a penny, if flipped through the entry just right, will continue through the mechanism and establish credits. The solution to this problem is to add two small metal pieces to the selector as shown in the accompanying drawing. These pieces are available at no charge. The threaded holes in the selector is an M3 X 6MM size.
