May be a long shot asking, but does anyone recognize this cabinet. I "think" it was a baseball machine, but am not certain. It is definitely from before 1972.

Yes it does, but I'm not having any luck matching it. Also, someone else is remembering it as a car racing game. LOL

It’s not a baseball pitch and bat since his hands are on flippers.

I think it's a single player too looking at the black surround on the head and general head size but not 100 % sure.

Actually have the glass for that one. Don’t really think many were made

Wow, we were not even close. LOL. Thanks a lot!! We have been trying to figure this out for days (after looking at some old pictures).

It's a special add-a-ball model for Italy. Gottlieb models for Italy were made in pretty good quantities. Williams probably wasn't so fortunate, and they did not continue making special Italian models.

The other great thing about that picture is the 70s “Keep on Truckin” poster. Remember it well along with the song by Eddie Kendricks.

It’s an oddity, purchased it on eBay with some other OEM glasses.

I knew someone from the "visual quiz show" thread would get this.
