Bought this guy as a pseudo-project back in 1999 and promptly buried him in the garage. He hasn't seen the light of day since... until Sunday.

The guy I bought it from also provided an NOS overlay (a BIG deal back in 1999 - before there were so many awesome repro guys around) and the blue-topped special Bubbles joystick. I have a couple of donor Williams control panels I was considering using (Moon Patrol and Motorace USA).

I also remember when I powered it up there was a lot of green on the monitor... like it was missing a color or two. I didn't do any troubleshooting at the time.

Anyway... just sharing. The sides look pretty good. Not really scuffed up too much at all.
The pictures are not awesome... sorry. All I had with me when I was moving her was my cell phone.

Jelly!! As in jelious ! Sweet cab these don't pop up that often as dedicated cabs other than multi Williams I love this game good luck with it!
 
Looks to be in great shape, nice 13yr hoard

I still have to finish restoring mine, but what a good and underrated game
Congrats
 
Very nice Allen. If I wasn't building a Multi-Williams (just came inside for a little bit while some paint is drying on one of the brackets) I'd be begging you to sell me that baby. What are your plans for it?

Selling it to you.

Dedicated Bubbles baybeeeee!

Well it's tempting as hell believe me. But just like most everyone else here, space is becoming an issue. I wish I could have back every game I ever sold, but I can only squeeze so many of them in my gameroom. I'd love to play a dedicated Bubbles again. Haven't since around '83 or '84...
 
Nice man. Bubbles gets a lot of play on my MW.

Thanks. I am really tempted to put it together but I have sooooo many projects and a new wife who isn't really in love with my 3 storage units.

In answer to your question John, I will probably sell it.

That, or I will put the jrok multi I bought from this recent run into it. I was actually hoping to use that jrok pcb to restore a Defender cocktail I have had for about 6 years but maybe it'll go into Bubbles.

Bubbles on James' WSF multi-williams is nice but the correct joystick makes a huge difference in play-ability.
 
Nice looking game, one under rated classic and one you don't see too often anymore dedicated.
 
That is beautiful Alan, one of the best looking cabs with color and artwork, I love the game too, dropped a lot of quarters into one in 1984, so cool, you should restore it and keep it...

When you get the time Alan, PM me your list of goodies- I'd like to see what stash you'd possibly be selling in your future storage consolidation ;)
