Here is feedback from a very happy dad at Christmas (see many more comments) -
Hello Steve,
I just wanted to let you know how my kids loved the ultra edition 2500 cocktail multicade. They play it for hours at a time, I have to make them take a break. Your multicade has given me and my wife a piece of mind in family entertainment with the games we grew up playing.
Thank you for your professional customer support.

Classic Horizontal = 24" standard.
Ultra Edition Lite = 24" standard.

The 24" LCD/LED monitor features IPS technology, meaning that the screen images are crystal clear when viewed from any direction and from a very wide range of angles.
Example of monitor size:
This is photo of the Classics Cocktail with 24" monitor.
8) Table top -
We offer three types of table tops:
a. Our standard top is 1/4" thick clear annealed glass with smooth edge.
When hit quite hard, annealed glass will break into a few large pieces.
It is preferred for home use, since it does not make the mess (or explode) as does tempered when it breaks.
b. 1/4" tempered glass with smooth edge.
When hit quite hard, tempered glass will resist, but can shatter into very many small square pieces.
When hit (or bumped) with less force at its (weak) edge, tempered glass will shatter (almost explode) into thousands of small pieces. (Usually not chosen for home use.)
Sometimes chosen for commercial use. Add $100.
c. 1/4" unbreakable polycarbonate (Lexan) sheet.
While Lexan is literally bullet proof, it is more easily scratched than is glass.
Sometimes chosen for rough duty and unattended commercial use. Add $150.
We do not use or recommend use of acrylic Plexiglass, it is too easily cracked and scratched.
9) Access door lock -
Choice for securing the front access door, no extra charge:
- Thumb operated lock (left photo - no key required, optional with all doors).
- Key operated lock (right photo, standard with all doors).
10) Customized trackball -
Upgrade to solid color 2-1/4" trackball (red, blue, or black), $25.
Upgrade to illuminated translucent 2-1/4" trackball (red or blue), $45.
Example red 2-1/4" trackball :
11) Cocktail table seating -
Table top is 29" above the floor.
For most comfort, suggest use of an adjustable height office task chair.
For tall people seating, add 8" more cabinet height with a telescoping elevation base, $100.
For a permanent elevation base, with a table height of 43" (table top to floor), see our Bar Stool Cocktail at photo A-8 above.
12) Furniture wheels -
Add four furniture style poly wheels that protect hard surface floors and make moving easy (replaces recessed base), $65.
13) Headphones cable pass-through port -
For frequent headphones use, the pass-through port allows direct connection to the headphones jack that is located inside the machine, and thus closure of front access door.
Add a headphones plastic-sleeve cable pass-through port to the cabinet located above and right of the front access door, $15.
14) Headphones audio splitter -
Add a headphones audio splitter to headphones jack for headphones use by two players, $25.
15) Paint touch-up kit -
In case your cocktail ever gets scratched, add a paint touch-up kit including your cabinet's matching paint color, $35.
16) T-molding color -
Control panels - choose from a wide selection the 3/4" wide T-molding color for the control panels, no extra charge.
Table top - choose black (default) or white 1" wide T-molding for the table top, no extra charge.
Three most popular control panel colors - red, black, and blue :
Example of Classics cocktail with 3/4" black T-molding on the control panel edges, and 1" white T-molding around the table top:
17) Control panel overlay -
Polycarbonate virtually indestructible material, several colors available, no extra charge.
Two most popular colors and diamond plate gray :
18) Surge protector -
If you are located in an area of frequent spikes, surges, and thunder storms, then you may want a higher rated surge protector.
Upgrade from the standard internally installed 1,000 joules surge protector to a 3,000 joules surge protector, $50.
19) Front access door -
Standard front access door is a black powder coat vault door with a keyed lock, no extra charge.
A two-slot, keyed or thumb lock, lighted, non-functional coin-op door is available, $125.
Example front access doors - vault standard (left), and coin-op upgrade (right)
We do not recommend coin operation for home use. It is too easy and frequent that a bent or dirty coin, or other object, will foul the coin mechanism switch causing machine start-up and other operational problems.
Therefore, our cocktail table machines are set up for home use freeplay, not for commercial coin operation.
For home use, rather than the vault door, you could order that a coin-op door be installed, but be non-functional. That is, the coin-op door would be lighted for appearance only, not for coin operation.
Coin operation with keyed lock and coin bucket is available, $150.
D. Standard Features (All Cocktails):
1) 50 watt internal powered stereo sound system with pod for volume and base dial control and headphones jack (see C-14 above).
Pod is located conveniently just inside the front access door.
2) A 1,000 joules EMI/RFI filtering surge protector (see C-17 above).
3) Modern LCD/LED monitor, not an obsolete CRT monitor (see C-7 above).
The 24" LCD/LED monitor features IPS technology, meaning that the screen images are crystal clear when viewed from any direction and from a very wide range of angles.
IPS technology is a feature not available in the 19.5" monitor. Still, any LCD/LED monitor is a great improvement over the obsolete CRT monitor.
4) Stainless steel control panel mounting hardware - never rusts.
5) JAMMA wiring harness - provides plug-and-play capability.
6) Control panel overlay material and table top underlay material (graphics) made of virtually indestructible polycarbonate (Lexan).
7) Customization of cabinet look and colors -
- Cabinet finish (paint or upgrade to wrap).
- Control buttons (colors and upgrade to lighted).
- Joysticks (colors and upgrade to styles).
- T-molding (colors).
- Control panel overlays (styles and colors).
- Trackball (upgrade to colors and lighted).
8) Pinball flipper buttons.
9) Depending on the cocktail cabinet style, accommodates one and two players -
- Alternating end-to-end vertical image flip screen play (Classics Cocktail and Ultra Edition and Ultra Lite Cocktail and Ultra Multi Williams.
- Simultaneous side-by-side horizontal image play (Ultra Edition and Ultra Lite Cocktail).
Horizontal and vertical images explained.
10) Customization of graphics (see B-2 above).
11) Brand new cabinet hand made in the USA.
12) Cabinet base platform is recessed to protect against shoe scuffing (except when replaced by wheels).
13) All cabinet boards are 3/4" thick, except for the table top board, which is 1" thick.
14) As with the original Midway cocktail cabinets, the corners are rounded.
15) Game controllers -
Classic Vertical = 8-way joystick with three control buttons standard for two players each (see example photos A-1 and A-2 above), plus any optional controllers (see C-6 above).
Classic Horizontal = player-1 8-way joystick with 6 control buttons, trackball, player-2 8-way joystick with 6 control buttons.
Ultra Edition Lite = all controllers included (see example photo A-3 above).
Ultra Edition = all controllers included (see example photo A-5 above).
Ultra Multi Williams = all controllers included (see example photo A-4 above).
16) Glare protection -
If your cocktail is to be operated in a brightly lit room, you may want to add a glare protector to the monitor to reduce reflection of the overhead lighting.
The protector is available by request, and we will install it at no additional charge. The protector is easy to install, or can be easily removed later if you find that it is not needed.
The protector is available in dark gray acrylic for high light, or light gray for lower light situations.
If you wish to add a protector after your purchase, we will mail one to you for $25 postage and handling.

steve...Steve...STEVE! This is indescribably beautiful! I feel like Ralphie's dad in A Christmas Story with his Major Award. Just unpacked it. The delivery guy said hats off to you guys. Well packaged. I'm going to get it moved into the house tonight from the garage and fire it up. I'll let you know if I have any questions. Just wanted to drop this line to thank you again. Well done sir!
