A Trivia Whiz table :)

I am not sure.  It's not your usual table of that orientation.  

It might be specific to that manufacturer.

If it isn't one of the styles in these mamefans msueum links (midway or atari) then it probably is specific to that manufacturere.

Stargate, Defender, Robotron, or Bubbles I believe.

That's what I thought.  I wish it was closer.  If it goes for cheap I might try to pick it up.

Dang now we'll all be outbidding each other. I only bid on things that get close enough to me, and that is only MPLS stuff.

It is either a Stargate or Defender, NOT a Bubbles or Robotron. There is a telling mark on them to make that decision:

Given the graphics around the P1/P2 buttons along side the coin door, I believe therein we have our answer.

So it's the same cabinet with different player start art.

I'm guessing it's you with the bid?

Nope. That's someone else. I'm definitely not Evil!

Just kidding about out bidding each other. I probably won't g o more than $50 or so since I'd have to make a 250 mile journey down to get it anyway. :(

That looks like one of the cocktails that was at the auciton in saint paul a month or so ago. If you look at it and moreso his other items he has for sale, you can see the auction lot numbers on the cabs still.

Oh and btw, no i don't know how much it sold for at the auction, I was in the other room looking at other stuff at the time.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


I had a unscheduled required meeting to go to at work after hours from 6-7:30 tonight and I FORGOT TO BID ON THIS. (It closed at 6:19)

ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DANG IT!     Someone stole it for $15.50

Awesome mame cabinet (wide control panel).  Absolutely worthless as a Trivia Wiz, but great to restore or Mame.



GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr

Someone PLEASE slap me hard so I never do this again.  That was the 2nd time I've done that this year on something I really wanted that has never gone for that low before.
