Found the above item. Claims to be a very rare limited edition space invaders cocktail. Anyone verify this? Just interested tis all.

Im not sure about that.
I have seen that same machine somewhere before.
Wasn't Pong or Gorf (maybe ) released on something similar?
Angry_Radish:
The base looks like the base to an old pong machine I had many years ago, and the top just looks home-made (though I've been wrong before :) )
Look at how that top button is cut into the chrome edging, not very professional for a limited edition...
I dunno, 0 feedback, new eBayer, and an "extremely rare" piece... nope, not buying it
CheffoJeffo:
I guess it's possible, but I've never seen this mentionned anywhere (as opposed to, say the Defender prototypes, white Galagas or white Asteroids) and I would be somewhat surprised to find an arcade piece that rare in Oz (it has happened before, but that was kinda bizarre in itself and the seller was known to many in the collecting community).
And then there is the complete lack of artwork or instruction cards.
I'll remain skeptical.
Cheers

Is it me, or does it say $.20 to play? I didn't know video games were ever below a quarter per play. Of course my knowledge of video game history going back that far is limited to my memory of being 8 or 9 years old at the time.
