I just scanned this in for a fellow KLOVer and just had to post a jpeg of it. Isn't it rad?

I found it inside of my Midway Wild Kingdom. 10 cents? Are you kidding me? It is printed on a seriously sweet textured gold foil paper and reminds me of the old bowling alleys before they remodeled them and added electronic scoring. Just wanted to share this rare piece of arcade history with you boyz.
 
Here's the backside my excited fellows:

Almost sounds like the instructions posted in Fritz's servants' quarters. Almost.
 
I remember when some games were 10 cents at the arcade during the mid 70s, I think they were mostly shooting type games.

Holy CRAP Phet!

Whooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo!

That label rocks. You just don't see anything with such classic style like that anymore...let alone the NOS unstuck label!

Many of our 50/60's racing hydroplanes have the old school gold foil as part of their graphics...and I just never get tired of it....

3 plays for 25 cents...such a deal!

I got a Sea Raider game that's going to need this sticker after its restored. If one was going to try and remake this sticker any suggestions?
 
These things are so cool... I'd lobe to have one to put in my EM section of my arcade.... love the artwork on them... brings back memories....

I got excited for a 1/2 second because I was hoping it looked like the graphics on this coin box, I recently picked up one of these wall hanging EM games and it's missing the coin box.

When I saw Phet's thread I got hopeful that he scanned the Midway tag on those coin boxes. I can make a box. Maybe I can get chopper to take a nice photo of his.
 
I contacted the decal company. I am trying to locate the original dies for these old decals. Fingers crossed!
 
Just cleaning up a loose thread...

I spoke with a secretary at the original company, she made it sound as if all the old stuff was long gone, as they had been purchased and company consolidated etc. I tried to speak to one of the "old timers" but never could make the connection.

A repro is probably the best option now.

Your pictures are all long gone thanks to the Photobucket ransom. :(
