If you have parts for a Mutoscope Sky Fighter for sale please let me know.

In 1941 Mutoscope sold one of the best arcade games made in the 40's. When a coin was inserted an air raid siren would sound and an enemy bomber would begin to circle. When the plane is illuminated by a spotlight you have to choose the correct gun battery to raise and shoot at the plane. You scored points by hitting the plane. A red light on the bottom of the plane would indicate a hit. Point scores would be recorded on the backglass. If the plane was hit enough times an animation unit would show the plane going down in flames on the backglass.



Here are some pictures of a restored Ace Bomber. I will post photos of the one I am working on soon.
