Funky shirt programmer
Development cartridges using JEIDA cards and a 68k emulator
More programming with green-on-black monitors
Electronics assembly chain, visibly not in the plant shown below. Where was that ?
MVS cart boards being populated in a pick and place machine
Mechanical assembly of MVS slots

SNK's Kobe plant and Esaka office seem to be still active mid-2015.
