The best thing about this cab was what the guy had sitting next to it.  :)

He said the Asteroids was not working.  I took the trip out to check them out.  I found the Asteroids was non-funtional because the board had been removed.  Everything else was in place and looked good.  The cab itself is in amazing condition.  I offered him $50 for it since it was non-functional.  ;D  I ended up getting it for $80.

Thanks to Chad for posting the listing in B/S/T (even though he pulled it after he got the same picture that I got  ;D)

Also could be a Universal Magical Spot. . .

Is that a Stern cabinet? CP makes me think it is... And the back, at the top is a bit of an indication... I've never seen one of these...  :dunno

It's the same cabinet design that Universal used on a lot of their games, including:

Galaxy Wars
Cosmic Guerilla
Cheeky Mouse
Cosmic Zero
Lady Bug
Cosmic Avenger
Mr. Do!

All they did was change the artwork.  And in some cases, apparently, they didn't even bother to change that.  Devil Zone and Magical Spot appear identical except for the marquee and the name on the side of the machine.
