>>Anybody know anything about this "rare" wood grain
cabinet..

Well there are 2 theories on this.

Theory 1: There was a V.P. at Atari that predicted the great video game
crash of '84. So about 1982, when Space Duel was released, he had some
experimental cabs made. Seems he wanted Atari to get into the furniture
making business and this was a proof of concept machine that somehow escaped
the factory intact. This theory holds that this cab is highly prized and
you should bid now, bid often and bid with confidence because the seller is
obviously an Atari insider who really knows his stuff.
Theory 2: Some Op had a Space Duel that was beat to crap, and he applied
some cheap wood laminate to the side of the cab before he swapped monitors
and converted it to an Arkanoid or Trivia Whiz.

You be the judge.
