That's actually quite interesting. Thanks for that!

So... how does it compare to Data East's JP table?

Here's some more pictures; Serial: #49348 Expect a proper thread soon.

A light one. It'll probably just be restenciling the missing kickplate and futureproofing the electronics.

Update: The owner of the place came back to me unexpectedly and told me they were going out of business. They asked if I still wanted the machine and offered to do $600 if I could take it away asap. I took it.

Amazing! It seriously looks like something that Gottlieb would have put out in the 80s.

Don't know if this has already been posted but:

$6, wow. Considering what that goes for elsewhere, they practically gave it to you. I actually had the UK Grandstand version years ago, only difference was that it was renamed after Konami's Scramble: (photo from eBay, as mine's is long gone)

Finally, people have something to put opposite their Addams Family... All jokes aside, it does look quite interesting, especially the monochrome Premium model.

Weird, I remember seeing an announcement for this years ago.

Also, I choked a Ms. Pac-Man with tokens at an arcade I used to frequent. If it was real quarters, I probably could have bought the thing. It helps that it was the only true video game at the place, and one of few that actually was worth playing.

The only "arcade" within the same town as me is basically an over 18's nightclub with what appears to be a decent selection of games (including Bally's TAF) . Thanks to the legal drinking age, I sadly can't enter it. Luckily there's a proper retrocade in the town next to me that I frequent a lot, as it has a huge amount of classics. Just to name a tiny amount: DK and DK Junior Galaxian Ms. Pac-Man MK2 Q*Bert T2

Never heard of them, but their service system is identical to that of the UK's Argos.
