That's most likely a unique machine in the picture. I don't think it's a gold edition as the bookcase doesn't look like it's gold, but the coin door is definitely gold(or chrome). The circle Bally sticker is on the backglass, instead of the playfield glass.

I wonder where that particular machine is, as well as that ribbon. I'm willing to bet someone still has them.

That's awesome Lloyd! At least someone knows the start of the story. Makes me wonder if WMS/Scientific Games has it somewhere, or if it got sold during a move or warehouse closing. To quote Henry Jones, Jr., "It belongs in a museum!"

I wonder if the serial number is known to someone, and perhaps even on the IPSND website. Either way, a start to the story of that game is huge head start.
