I'm gonna buy it and then smash it.  ;)

KLOV says it has a 49 way joystick. I didn't know they used them that far back.

Apparently only 4 of these cabinets were built.

I think the other three are still new in a box at the factory...

Looks like a Sinistar cockpit to me. Never seen one in the flesh.

Are the jokes because Williams' Blaster is such a gawd-awful craptastic game, or some other reason? Aesthetically the cab looks pretty cool. Could make a nice project.

It's just because it's outrageously rare.  Even an upright is hard to find, but the cockpit is beyond impossible.  Too bad the game is, in fact, craptastic.  If it weren't a Williams title, I doubt anybody would care.

WHAT?!?!?!?

The thing has been HACKED and converted!
It's been STORED IN A SHED!

I don't care if it's rare, it's not worth THAT much, is it?!?!

And can you imagine the taxes and duty when it crosses the border. "You paid how much? ... Let's see, that will be $750 in taxes."

I guess it's worth so much that they were too afraid to clean it up for the photos.

Yeah it looks like a lot, but when you covert AU to US it works out to $5.78 ; )
