I thought my lunar Lander was rare with only 4830 made. I did not realize that Red Baron only made 1500 upright machines. Wonder how many are still out there. I felt lucky to find one a few weeks ago. I feel really lucky now that I see the production numbers.

This makes My Red Baron the Rarest Arcade I own. Whats yours?
 
My rarest would be my (wife's) Moon Patrol cocktail. Don't know how many were made though.

I had no idea Red Baron was that rare. A local collector just snagged one.

Mine is the Mario Mushroom World Pin with only 519 made. :)

Hard to say, `cause there's no telling how many are left. :D All I have are production numbers.

Warlords cocktail? Supposedly around 1300 of those built (I think).

Missile Command cabaret? Supposedly around 1500 of those built (I think).

Robotron cabaret? I've heard all sorts of numbers on these.

Donkey Kong cabaret? No one seems to have a clue.

I have a missile command cabaret did not know the numbers were that low wow 1500. I also have a robotron cabaret but have no clue how many of those were made.

Here is a link that shows the missile command and red baron numbers,

Hmmm, either my Asterock or my Puckman bootleg......god knows how many or phew were made, but so far I've seen only 1 of each on the internet apart from my machines :D
 
I have a Sega Missile command upright with a sega boardset that plays missile command.

I believe it's the only one.

I have a feeling quite a few of these have survived. They don't seem to be that hard to find.

I love mine - play it all the time.

Rarest arcade "machine" I have would, I'm positive, be my Pacer Poker countertop machine. Still haven't been able to find anyone else with one.

My rarest piece would be Gottlieb New York New York. I rarely see any of them around. Don't know if it's a case of low production numbers, or high conversion rate?
I personally like the game, although it's hard as hell. :D
 
Rare

Mine is a DigDug cocktail. Atari production numbers show only 1219 made. All parts have matching serial #19 inside.

Mine would be a Dig Dug mini. 500 made or a Kick Mini. No actual production numbers on that one but I know it is low since there were only 1500 uprights. I have one of those also.

My games:
Trog: rarest production game(not counting kits)

Joust pinball or Quantum: Rarest production game

Kit red barron is cool(have one), but If you want to go really rare, there is the dedicated upright red barron..

Mine would be my Food Fight cocktail: 100 made. I passed on a nice Star Castle cocktail a couple years back on which the operator had written a note that it was 1 of 8 made. No idea on the accuracy of that, but I know it sparked a debate here over whether or not a dedicated Star Castle cocktail in fact even existed (it does).
 
Some nice examples on this thread

Not sure how rare it is overall, but my rarest game is my Q-bert cocktail. Not sure how many were made, but I have only seen a couple of these including the one I bought.

Wow I didn't realize they were that low as far as the upright goes. Seen a couple back in the day and a couple non-working the past year. Now the sit-down is a different story....
 
How many different Mario Pins were there? I remember there was a Mario Pin in a bar in my city.


My rarest game is Space Zap Mini Serial #382 with matching numbers inside....

Anyone know how many of those were produced?

Mine would either be the Joust cocktail in process of being restored or the Mystic Marathon.
