>Here's something you don't see everyday.
Thanks for making a video clip of the game.
I recall seeing a couple of those at Disneyland's Pennyarcade on Main street in late summer 1976 and then they were relocated to the Space Mountain's Starcade center the following year when Space Mountain ride was open.
The game was also over at Knott's Berry Farm's Buffalo Nickel arcade in 1977. I don't recall seeing it in 1978 when going back to the arcade.
While at Buffalo Nickel arcade.... iirc... it didn't seem to have as many folks lining up to play it compared to other video games like Stunt Cycle, Death Race or the Indy 800 or Indy 4.
Congrats with having that in working shape. If the proms from the board have already been dumped, that's good since those need to be backed up.

I've only ever seen a Sega Bullet Mark prior. There was one at an arcade in Ocean City, MD that was operated until the early 2000's. Bullet Mark is essentially the same game with a different cabinet configuration and targets.
I'd probably rate those games above Tracer. But, Tracer is pretty neat in its own way. The LED scoring, light up bezel, force-feedback and lighted muzzles are a nice touches.
