Found an obscure craigslist posting in my area. Finally was able to meet up with the guy tonight. Game is is pretty good condition cosmetically. Started right up and played fine. Probably needs a cap kit, but not that bad. Has the cup holders and the footrail. Those have a small bit of rust as well.

Extremely happy as this is a game I like and it goes well with the fact that my wife and I bartend. Pics will be up soon.
 
Wait a minute....you are a bartender for a living, and you just bought a game to play in your spare time to play as a bartender? :)

In all seriousness congrats on the pickup. Tapper is a cool game. Check out the "Freeplay" ROM that is available.

Grats man. Bringing home that most-wanted game is a great feeling. I know as I drove off with my new Robotron in the back of the truck I was almost shaking with excitement. Could not wait to get home, plug in, and hit Player 1!

My wife said the same thing when I bought mine since I own a bar, but the funny thing is that it's her favorite looking game. Congrats on your pickup!!!
 
Ha ha yea, my wife had never seen the game before. But she said it was her favorite looking one. Hopefully I'll get it to the basement this weekend and get to fixing it up. We did manage to break the plug off when we moved it, but it was missing the ground prong anyway, so I would have replaced it before I plugged it in. Trying to get pics up here but I won't get home until 2am tonight. I'll try to get them in the morning.
 
Here we go

Finally got a chance to take some pics

Great looking game... I would totally place in the Simpsons Roms.

Nice score, congrats! The cupholders look to be in great shape - usually those are pitted and fugly looking. That Simpsons version looks cool, I've never seen that before.

Looks like the left pour handle is a bit sticky...;)

Try playing it in mame, and it just isn't worth taking it out of Bud to make it Simpsons.



Congrats on the pickup man! I got my Bud Tapper last November from a junky CL listing, it was out close to Hagerstown if I remember right.
