Earlier today I picked up a really nice Tapper machine...and I am very excited to get it downstairs and into the Flux Capacitor Arcade. I'll get some pictures up and posted, because this is indeed a rare bird. This is a very low serial number machine with the full color sides and it is HUO!
Here's the story on this little gem: It came directly off the line and was provided to a Midway executive who took it home and kept it there. At one point in the 90's it experienced a minor problem and was taken in to American Vending Sales to have it fixed. The guy I got it from was working there at the time and he bought it directly from the original owner after it was fixed. The guy I got it from actually worked for Gottlieb for several years. It has been in his house every since. There are no signs of any real damage to the cabinet, the bottoms have a few minor scratches, but that's it. The left drink holder has a couple minor spots where the finish is coming off. It plays and looks awesome! I will clean it up really well and it'll go right into the line-up. I thought it'd look really cool sitting next to my Ice Cold Beer when I finish that one shortly. One minor issue is that it sat in the guy's basement for so many years that he recently lost the keys to it, so I'll need to pick it or drill it out.
Pictures coming very soon...off to bed now.
