It is certainly not one of a kind, just rare. The sole reason why I have 3 trackballs in my mame is this very cabinet. Out of all places, in Hungary, in the 90s there was an arcade called Wizards in a very small mall. I spent half my childhood on that machine. Looked just like this one. It was such a staple of my childhood that I built my mame almost just to copy that experience alone. Our hands always got dirty from the trackballs. Also you could not really squeeze there comfortably with three players. I tried to figure out what happened to the machine 10 years ago, but could not find the owner of the arcade. I did not realize though it was this unrealistic in price, lol.
