Yes. this is an Aussie one (LAI made them), it also has a base and wheels.
It has a unique chassis too, an all-in-1 HV and deflection Chassis too. Works exactly like atari though
I just found out Asteroids and LL don't have wheels over there in the US either.

What's you view on removing the scope, I am thinking about doing this mod when I rebuild this machine

nah i love the scope... but vintage had a good idea with some magnified plexi or something where you look through... would be cool to get at least 1X the magnification when you look through... sounds cool...

Cool, Could use a lens out of a OHP maybe
I have a BZ cabaret that I have always been happy with due to the ungodly size and weight of the old Atari UR cabinets. This thread makes me consider about trading up from BZ cabaret to UR.

I think that is a great idea
I bought my BZ to get the monitor from for another project, but after getting it home, I loved it (And my wife hated it of course)
this is just me, but i def would not lose the scope. Everyone i talk to who remembers this game from bitd always says 'oh cool that's the one you look thru the scope on, right?' it's what makes the game unique from all the other cabs out there. Trust me on this one. Keep the scope

For any BZ owner, the High Score kit is a must. Also new grommets for the joysticks. I replaced the 3 pieces of plexi that you look through because they were scratched up some and now it looks perfect. You MUST keep the scope. That's what makes it BZ!
Now all you need is the BZ Supercharger from Clay. Too bad he never released it. It would have increased the value of the cab by alot IMO.
Google it.

Pity re BZ Super charger kit, yes it sounds cool

Ok the scope will stay, that's 3/3 for keeping
That's crazy that he got many projects close to the completion mark and then stopped short.
Those kits would have been huge sellers.
And yes, you'd be daft to get rid of the scope -- it contributes a lot to the game's unique feel.
