I found 2 Gas Attack pinball tables... there is an entry for it here:
http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=16862

But basically doesn't have any info in it. Both of them are located at the Buffalo Museum of Science as part of the Grossology exhibit. The exhibit itself is basically aimed at kids, and wasn't as cool as I figured it would be. But the two tables were there but they were "Out of Service" so I couldn't even play them. Boy if they were working, they'd have to kick me out of there!

The lighting isn't that great in there, especially since they were both broken I think they left the lights off in that corner. Between the two games was a giant poo.

There is a short description of the games here:

These are based on Stern whitestar machines. Originally they were developed based on Capcom games, but due to the lack of parts availability, they were converted to Stern Whitestar. I repaired them some time ago and did a complete repair blog with lots of pictures at pinballninja.com

You'll have to check your site again, as it redirects to the wp admin login page.
 
That's because his site is actually by subscription only.

It's the best $20 I ever spent (Seriously, daily repairs complete with diagnostic breakdowns, pics AND VIDEOS!)

That's how I knew about this machine sometime ago
 
I visited the Buffalo Museum of Science today and the Grossology exhibit with my son. One of the two Gas Attack machines was out of order and the other was partially working. It only had one ball in it so you could play it until it locked the first ball and then it would sit there. Some of the drop targets were also broken.

I powered cycled it so my son could play it for a little bit at least, but then he locked a ball and we were outta luck.

It was definitely a Capcom machine (had a Capcom logo on the coin door). Here's the one picture I took of my son playing.
