My 'Pede Cabaret has almost as much 'stage presence' as the MC UR... Of course, MC is one of the shorter uprights. I love the nice 'upright' monitor orientation on the mini too.
But were the cabarets actually capable of holding their own, as far as earnings and play, BITD, on location, amongst the big dog cabs? How many were out there back then? AND, where?
My recollections of seeing/playing cabarets on location, BITD, are few...
In '81, the arcade I usually went to brought in an MC cabaret... Only because the owner couldn't get his hands on an upright. It got very little play.
The only other time I remember seeing cabarets on location was on the Indiana Turnpike, about mid '80s... BZ and a Gorf at two seperate reststops. I was able to play the BZ briefly... I thought, back then, it was much more playable than the UR...
Anyway... my BITD cabaret experiences were limited pretty much to Madison WI.
Any other, BITD/In the wild, cabaret recollections are welcome...
