Does anyone own one of these/ have pictures of one?

From what I know, Defender, Stargate, and Make Trax all had the option of having a base.. I want to reproduce one, but I have nothing to go off of except the given measurements and pictures found on the flyers for the games..
 
No, its not part of the game... Williams offered a "base" for some of their earlier cocktails.. It would give the games about an extra 10" of height so people wouldn't have to sit down..
 
looking at the picture, it looks like it's just made out of wood, in the reverse of the top. it looks like they took it and made it a little wider with a platform that it sits in. just my guess.
 
i found one at an antique store on long island. didn't realize what it was until the next day. went back and it was gone. dealer thought it was for slot machines(whatever) if they were reproduced i would definately take one! from what i remember it was rather simple.
 
From what I can see, it looks like they added an inch depthwise to the inside to leave room for the machine... what is throwing me off is that it looks like they increased the length somewhat too (going by the picture), but the dimensions suggest otherwise..
 
As for the woodgrain match, I'm getting close... This is a sample that came today held up next to my minty Robotron..
