So I was helping a local guy out with diagnosing and fixing a coil issue on his Dr. Dude when I noticed his serial number was ending in 0001 and it was a WPC board. Checked IPSND and sure enough, his serial was 20161520001 indicating it was the first WPC game ever produced and distributed. Any other "firsts" you have encountered in the wild? Any thoughts on what a collector would pay for a game like this? My first thought was that "whitewood" Space Station that was listed a few months back. This Dr. Dude wasn't a whitewood but it was still pretty cool.

We bought a sample Theater of Magic, it has a post that pops up between the flippers and some other things. Circuit boards under the pf were red, not green like normal.

Not exactly a "first" but one of 12 prototypes, i believe.

I once owned the first Bally Spectrum. 1001. Sold it to Herb Silvers many years ago.
