Picked up a cocktail last night called Astro Ambush. Anyone ever heard or seen one? This thing is huge(40" x 28"). Has a 19" tube in it(no chassis). Looks to be original and not converted. Label underneath the glass says Made in Korea. Another label with the connector pin out info says "Austro Ambush." Instruction cards definitely say "Astro" though.

I cant seem to find anything on it. Nothing. Trying to get some pictures off my phone. Will upload some in a few.

I was wondering if it was you who got that! The lady said your call beat mine by about 2 min.
What the hell is that thing? Didn't they have another cab there too?
 
Yeah the lady had a Carnival that i picked up also.

As for the cocktail, i still cant find any info on it. I threw in a spare switcher and wired in one of the monitors that i got from the lady and it powered up. I couldnt really play it as the video wiring was really short so i had to position the monitor in an awkward way.

From what i understand is that you are some type of ship and you have to dodge rockets? that fire from the ground up. There is a special button on the control panel but i could not tell what it is. I am gonna work on getting the monitor into the cocktail today.

Which is another weird thing. Either they used a really awkward monitor frame or they used no frame at all. A standard 19" frame wont fit. There is a board in the bottom of the cab that has a slit cut in it. Possibly the chassis sit in there with another board on top to keep it from moving. Sort of like a pcb holder that you see in a lot of games.

Who knows. Maybe i can get a video.
