Am I the only one with a working Bigfoot Bonkers?

I put up some photos and a video last month showing my Bigfoot Bonkers, and I was expecting it would root out a few owners. I also contacted a few folks directly that may have once owned one, but so far no one has responded. Does anybody know of any other working examples? Am I all alone? :)

Here's my photo/video thread, in case you missed it:

Sorry to bump my own thread, but I've had absolutely no response on this thing. Is it super-rare, or just super-unwanted?
 
It's definitely interesting, and with the old B&W games - there probably aren't many survivors, and most of those are probably non-working and swollen like a sponge. It's absolutely cool that you're taking care of this and thanks for posting pics. Always neat to see something uncommon!
 
I used to have a Meadows Drop Zone 4, but I have never seen a Bigfoot Bonkers before.
 
I just picked up one of these. I believe it to work. I can play two-player easily, but single player operation is confusing. I have to insert two credits and then press single player. I can then get single player mode. It is mildly amusing, if you have excess room for it.
 
I have an appreciation for b/w games given that I started playing video games as a young whippersnapper in 1975. I'm jelly of anyone that owns a working b/w game. Most of the games are lacking in depth of game play, but given that it was at the dawn of video games I appreciate them for what they are.
 
This is my second one. I purchased a Atari Anti-Aircraft earlier in the year.

Hey there, Bigfoot Bonkers brother. I just-now saw this post. Single player and two player are the same cost, so maybe the game is set up for 50-cent play? On mine 1-player is a quarter, and 2-player is also a quarter. Try flipping DIP 4 or 5, can't remember.

Mine has not had much gameplay. I am in the process of selling it now. I have to make room for more.
