cocktail cabinets question
<< < (2/3) > >>
paigeoliver:
I have seen a couple cocktail Jousts in person. Pretty easy design to build, basically a 19" cocktail about a foot wider than normal (not too deep though), with two control panels in front, slightly angled off towards the sides. It wasn't actually an original design, more of a Rip Off of the OLD (pre invaders), Midway cocktail, used for games like Gun Fight.

I learn something every day.  Seems Midway was King of the Cocktails:

Yeah, Gunfight cocktails are usually attempted to be pawned off as "Rare Joust Cocktail".  But even a quick glance and you'll see the differences. Joust is a lot nicer IMHO.  

A gunfight looks like a cheap 1970's electronic piano with a bump out and a monitor mounted flat in the top.
paigeoliver:
Yeah, but those 70s cabinets have some real flavor to them. Lots of different shapes and looks. Everything started to look the same after Pac-Man came out.

I have owned a lot of 70s cabinets, 8 or 9 of them I believe.
