Not mine, but stumbled on it:

Never seen a Midway cocktail like this. Differences from "normal":
- Tinted glass top
- Curved cutouts above control panels in glass
- Almost "Stern"-like woodgrain (just not parquet knotty pine, but much
different from Midway)
- Woodgrain edging under glass instead of 1" T-Moulding (Like
Nintendos/Atari)
- Wood access door under metal coin door
- Edge T-moulding on side with coin door instead of on sides with control
panels
- Chrome wide top glass clips

- No speaker above coin door so doesn't appear to be a Stern conversion.

Doesn't seem "homemade" but is definitely quite a variation, isn't it?

I'm not sure its a midway cocktail at all. They could have just slapped
that coin door on.
