Hi
 Cocktails are fun. One can often convince the
significant other that these are really just tables
and should be part of the household furniture.

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
