Cocktail model dimensions:
32 in. (80.5 cm) wide
24 in. (60 cm) deep
Height: adjustable from 21.5 in. (54.6 cm) to 27 in. (68.6 cm)
Weight: 164 lbs (73.8kg)

Cocktail cabinet monitor: 15 in. Quadrascan.

The cocktail model uses the same PCB as the upright model.

The cocktail harness has a jumper wire from J20 Pin7 to Pin 19 that controls the video inverter circuit.

The cocktail model has two control panels, on opposite sides of the cabinet; in a 2-player game, the players sit across from each other, and the screen's image flips over to face whichever player is currently controlling the Spaceship.

When not playing a 2-player game, the screen is always upright - in other words, the image faces P1.

Only P1's side of the cabinet has the coin mechanisms and player start buttons.

TRIVIA
