Yes, that very machine has come up before on KLOV and maybe even here.

It looks like a complete disaster.

And 500 bucks for just the monitor (and the other working components) is simply too much.

That's not one of those custom Oak cabinets from the early Chuck-E-Cheese years, is it?

At the gameworks in Las Vegas, they have 5 of these cabinets. I believe they are Asteroids, Space Invaders, Moon Patrol, Gorf... and one more I can't remember.
