I'm guessing the design is more like the one that can be found
http://home.iprimus.com.au/ozstick/prod_cocktail.html?

I hadn't even seen the design with the controllers on the 'short' ends until recently...  all the ones I've seen in Australia are the above design.

I think these were made by 'Leisure & Allied Industries'.

We talked for a loooong time on windows messenger last night, and I located her an identical cocktail on ebay.au for less than half the price.

I think in the last 2 months I've probably seen more cocktails on ebay.com.au than I had the previous six months. People are always going on about how rare they are but i'm not as convinced. From what I see Australia is full of generic LAI lowboys and cocktails and very few dedicated cabs as paige mentioned.

This is about as close as I've seen to a dedicated cocktail;

If only I had enough money to burn and more were listed in Sydney then I'd snap one up to mame no worries. Apart from the one linked above, I wouldn't feel bad about Mame-ing it either.

Another thing stopping me is that most of the ones I've seen (ebay and in general) have the CP mounted directly on the side of the cab which makes it tough to play after a while in shooters. Funny thing is Chris from Ozstick (Melbourne) tells me almost all the cocktails from his area have a cp like in the link above.  

Maybe I should move to Melbourne lol.

Fuzzguitar:

Whoa.....this has gotta count as dedicated!

WOW!

By the way, the ebay one is not original, as Pac-Man never came in that style of table, and neither Namco nor Midway ever distributed Pac-Man in Australia and Leisure and Allied was unable to get the rights to sell it there either.

Like I have said, there aren't really any "original" pac-man machines in Australia.

The ebay one has a bootleg board anyway, I can tell from the screenshot, the maze is different than the Namco/Midway version (don't let that scare you off though, like I said, all Australian pacs are unoriginal bootlegs)..
