Came across this game yesterday. Depending on the sources I read on the 'net, it's from either 1954 or 1955. It appears to fit this KLOV entry:

I haven't done it in a long time, I guess I need to read up on how to submit pics to KLOV.

Not in bad shape for it's age. Of course it didn't work (other than the lights coming on).

You can see a full set of pics here:

The advertisments says it weighs 325 pounds so it's heavier than most standard video arcade games. Very deep cabinet style too, and the gun sticks out on the front. The guts of the game are mounted on the bottom of the cabinet and are reflected up via a mirror.

I'll jump on board and second that notion. Those step units look fragile I'd take extra care on that restoration. I'm convinced however that was a back breaking experience loading that game in any point during it's existance.

I'm about to go through that pain myself with my entire arcade. I move in one week I'll be moving to my new residence...however my very large basement awaits...

What a fantastic piece of Americana Joe thanks for sharing and good luck with the restoration!
