Looking for info on a "Nibbler" Cocktail
« on: March 17, 2006, 12:06:10 am »
Hey everybody,

My co-workers parents are moving next weekend, and have a Nibbler cocktail cabinet in thier basement.  The son want it but doesn't have room, so knowing that I'm into the "arcade scene".  He's invited me over this weekend to take a look and if I like make an offer.

He hasn't been able to provide me with any pics, but he mentioned that it has a round top.  Something like .

The only round cocktails I've been able to find are all pong/pong convertions.  The manual for Nibbler doesn't even mention a dedicated cocktail table.

Is there such a thing as a dedicated Nibbler Cocktail?  (I'm guessing not but hey...)  What would be a fair price to offer for such a unit?  I know what I want to spend, I just wanna know for my own minds sake.

Sounds like a fun game and probably in desent shape too.  It's been in a family room for 20+ years, given to the family in barter for other products from an operator.

Any ideas?

In my time, I've never seen a dedicated Nibbler. Only conversions.
NO MORE!!

My bet is it's not the Nibbler but a nibbler.  Like big foot bonkers by meadows or something similar.  that would put it in the era of round cocktails.

Well, I showed him the artwork for the Rockola Nibber, and he says that's what he remembers on the machine.  It's also a color monitor, so I'm hoping that may give me a bit of freedom to swap in other boardsets in future.  I'm hoping I can do a Jamma conversion to it since it's most likely a conversion game anyways.  I should know more after the weekend.

Thanks for the input guys.
