I bought it on eBay last weekend, so today I wound up taking the day off to drive to Vegas pick it up.
Left Arizona this morning at 6:30AM when it was dark and didn't get back till 6:10 when it was getting dark. Long trip, but well worth it IMO.
I had never seen this game before, but instantly fell in love with it and had to have it.
It doesn't seem to be listed in VAPS and I haven't been able to find all that much online.
From what I can gather it was manufactured in September of 1977 (which is really late for an EM game).
It pretty low serial number #78, so I'm guessing they didn't make too many of these?
I found a couple of sites that references it but say very little (one is even this exact machine).

The second link is this machine.
The people I got it from got it in a defaulted storage locker in Vegas.
The cabinet is very small (about the size of a cabaret).
Its also made out of very thin plywood so its light 1/2 inch sides and 1/4 inch back door.
Would break pretty easy if it took a beating (in fact theres some cabinet separation at the bottom I need to fix asap).
Anybody seen one of these or got any information on it?
