There were only 1, 256 Cow-Poke units produced (½ that of Buckaroo @ 2, 600). There are surely fewer than 1, 000 Cow-Poke’s still in existence & 100 or less in this condition.
Ascetically the playfield and backglass are in great condition with only minor cosmetic issues (see pictures). Mechanically everything works great & is very reliable! Apart from changing bulbs/rubbers & cleaning contacts, I have literally never had an issue with this machine in over 6 years of ownership. By comparison, my Space Odyssey machine is lucky to last 3 games without having issues. This game is fun to play! Horse kicks the cowboy in the butt & for extra balls to continue play.
New rubbers, bulbs & an extra ball will be included. Also worth mentioning that my garage is air conditioned so this machine has never been exposed to the Houston humidity! For decades before I inherited this machine from a family member it was kept indoors.
