Defender Cocktail

Acquired July 2003

Another one of my all time favorite games. A definite classic that took the coin op video game by storm, and is still a definite challenge to play. Also a great cabinet design for a cocktail table.

Purchased this game already restored, with a switching power supply installed for steady reliable power. Only thing the game needed was a new top glass and a fuse for the GI lighting. Cabinet has some chipped wood-grain Formica on the bottom of the sides and will be eventually repaired, but I'm in no rush to do it. Game is in fantastic shape otherwise.

Old top glass with black paint underneath.

New top glass with black underlay (courtesy of Dave Jones) and new reproduction instruction cards.
