Asteroids Cocktail Table

The_President

For those of a certain age - remember those Asteroids Cocktail Tables in all the boozas of the day? - well, i want to buy one !
However, i'm having a hell of a job trying to source one in a good condition (even on Ebay) - in actual fact, i'm having a hell of a job sourcing one full stop.
Now, i thought , the boys on CL are a pretty resourceful lot, so maybe someone might have an idea as to where i could try.

Many thanks.

Thanks Bigmac - yeah spoke to him recently and as you will see from the last time his website was updated (2004) he no longer does that stuff and has none for sale.

They had one in the bar upstairs at Crook Log Sports Centre in the 80s

I'm sure it's still there, just waiting for The_President to pop round.

Asteroids was superb. I think it was the one that had a ball to move around rather than clunky buttons, which was a revolution in technology back then!

By far the best thread title for a while, and no ones disagreeing on this thread, the place to be, just avoid large lumps of rock.

Tesco has this. Obviously not vintage but new though.

I had to use Google Images to find out what an Asteroids Cocktail Table was. Maybe, I was just too busy worrying about kids at that time to get into pubs that had an ACT. I must admit I thought Asteroids Cocktail Table was an unreleased track by Pink Floyd.

It's a bit steep though - might be a good DIY project!
