Tabletop arcade toys were all the rage in the early ’80s. Coleco was well known for its tabletop machines (Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Frogger, etc.), but slightly lesser known were those by Parker Brothers. In 1983 they released this version of Q*bert by Gottlieb. Jon found this one on a road trip into South Georgia, and while it works well, it was cosmetically not great, so in this video he cleans it up and applies a brand new set of decorative decals in an effort to restore it to its original glory.
