I was gonna say the same - Kev Steele has one: www.retroblast.com

Sounds like Dr Who is/was pretty popular in the US, more so than I would have imagined.  I haven't seen it for years, must make the effort...I remember the cricket-gloves-painted-silver Cybermen pretty well tho :)

KevSteele:

Yup, I'm a proud owner of a Dr. Who Pinball. Only one article about it so far on RetroBlast, though:

It's not really all that relevant to a Tardis arcade cab (even though I love my moving Dalek head topper ;) )

A Tardis cab would be great - add a Tardis theme to MAMEWah, and assign the classic, creaky "dematerialze" sound to a game launch (heck, get the blue light on top to blink at the same time!) You know, even with just sideart and a blue light on top, a Dr. Who "theme" could be done to almost any cab.

And yes, Dr. Who was fairly popular in the US (I'm a big fan, at least...) I'm hoping the Sci-Fi channel will finish their negotiations to bring the new Dr. Who series to the US (and finally get reruns back of the old episodes! I haven't seen one on TV since 1990!)
