scuba sept 1970 and out of space feb 1972, would say far too large a gap in production for gottlieb to use..

though have always loved scuba's backglass

The Scuba cab is pretty generic anyway. I know someone in Florida who had a Scuba with a painted over cabinet. The Pinball Pimp created him some custom stencils with fish and scuba divers that looks awesome - way better than the original cabinet. Maybe he would sell you a set...

FYI, you're better keeping the backbox upright for transportation if you can secure it that way - the glass will be less likely to break, I believe.

That is an Outer Space cabinet, the two player version of Orbit.

It is dimensionally and functionally correct for Scuba.

Also, I'm with Collin in that you really want to keep the head upright when transporting. The glass is most stable on edge and most protected in the head. I position the front of the head all the way forward in the bed of the pickup with some padding, like cardboard or moving blankets, between it and the bed edge. Then put the back end of the body right up to it. Lightly strap the body in so it won't flop around.

Funny I never heard of Scuba, but saw this post after I saw this Craigslist "gem" for sale in my hometown.

I did not know these go for $2000?

That's a Gottlieb Scuba (not Williams) in an Outer Space cabinet as Mike O said. Nice grab for $100. I was in the south Chicago area last week and called that guy and he said he was out of town that day so I missed it.

Outer Space is a two player game like Scuba. Orbit is a four player game and the head is taller than a two player game. If it was an Orbit cabinet/head there would be a gap at the top or bottom of the backglass.

I just helped a guy sell his Outer Space recently. Here's a couple pics. You can go to "The Internet Pinball Database" and search for any of these games.

Sorry to piggyback but I am going to look at a Scuba that is also in the wrong cabinet! Any idea what cabinet this is?

Has that original cabinet been re-painted? That pattern doesn't look like something Gottlieb used from that era - looks like someone's idea of their own art. Plus, you have to have the exact Gottlieb head from that era for the glass to fit.

Can you look under the legs, under the coin door, inside the cabinet, etc., to tell if has been re-painted?

I'm in agreement with Hoov. Looks like a repaint. Probably the original cabinet under that paint.

I'll take a closer look...here is a couple more pics.20150423_200617.jpg20150423_200626.jpg

Here is a good one of it's side.
