Thanks Jeff I found tons of information and manuals (they cost $20 each) for
the unit once I used the correct name (cocktail) for my google search. My
cost $15.51 plus tax looks even better now that I found they sol for $1945
back in 1980.

Truly cool...a Missile Command cocktail unit. Mostly it's
stuff like PacMan that you see in that format. Here are a couple of
pictures of one:
