FS - On CL, not mine, Color Bud Tapper in Phx

Nice deal, there have been a few here in the last couple of months, regular art and not in the best shape, all $800 +.
 
A nice price but does anyone else think that the color art pales compared to the sepia tone of the more common art? The color just looks goofy to me and out of place with the rest of the machine.

I think its ugly. I wonder it it was exposed to weather? Looks like the marquee it pretty much gone. But at $500 its a good deal..

The art itself is very different. I agree, I don't personally like it at all.
 
The first Tapper I ever saw / played was the color version so I might be biased, always wanted one and then there are the stories of how many are actually out there.

To me it is more 80's, over the top and bright. That is what I love about quite a few 80's games is the over the top art. Come on, how flashy is a Ms. Pac? Quite a few Atari cabs too, the excess of the 80's. No subtle woodgrain with a name and instructions, in your face look at me. Totally 80's.
 
Also, there is one now on CL here for $950 with regualr side art. The side art is peeling in the pics and overall the cab is in okay shape. Of course the add says they regularly sell for $1000+ on e-Bay and that he doesn't need an education on prices or low-ballers, of course most of it spelled very wrong and posted over and over.

Funny, the last two that actually SOLD on e-Bay went for $550 and $485 and looked to be in better shape. The pics he posted are also the nice blurry ones that you can't really tell too much, but enough to know to stay away.

Although rare, I think the color side art doesn't look as good as the regular one. Just my opinion. Yeah, that marquee looks really bad. Not too bad of a price though.
