Smiley, you've got it all wrong! You're supposed to say it's worthless and that you'll give me $50 as a gift to take it off my hands! ;) In any case, I just found a web image of a Joust cocktail. It definately wasn't that! If fact, I don't remember seeing any name at all on the thing. I'll take a closer look and snap a few pictures of everything this weekend.
As for the Woodpecker PCB, I tried all the dips - no change. I should have access to a different power supply this weekend. I'll try that and then send it off for dumping. It came in a generic cabinet with a space theme and an "Infinity 1" marquee.

That's great! Another game for MAME! :)
It's a pitty that one of my favourite games (World Rally 2) has a hard protection wich's gonna be troubled to emulate right... :'(

LOL! I wound't rip off a fellow gamer, now someones grandmother who had it sitting in their basement....
I hope the ROMs on the other game are still good enough to MAME. Even if it's a bad game, it's still a piece of software history and needs to be MAMEd.

Here is a cocktail pinball list. It has descriptions and est. value. Congrats on your find!

Quick updates:
The Woodpecker PCB did the same thing with a known good power supply and wiring interface. The system powers up with the same pattern on the screen that Naughty Mouse powers up with for about 1 second. Problem is, my Woodpecker stays at that screen and beeps the speaker. Any ideas?
I couldn't get in touch with the Guru, but I may have that problem solved tonight. Regardless of whether I get it running, I will send it to the Guru. From what I've heard, this could be a difficult and/or time-consuming ROM dump.
The cocktail table pinball is "Foxy Lady" by Game Plan. It isn't working, but it's been offered to me for converting a generic upright cabinet to MAME. I'm working on that project now!
