Best/Favorite Taito Cab color combo

[Phetishboy]

That's definitely the best color scheme of the Taito cabs, but does it clash with the EA Marquee, CP, Bezel color scheme which is the Western colors you do not like.

Is that Navy Blue on DK Blue, or Black on DK Blue? It's hard to tell from jpgs. In any event, I like the scheme better than this one:

Tin Star was just a kit, wasn't it?

I don't think so, but my sole reference is a set of two photos found on the internet. The cabinet in the attached picture looks like it has original paint, and the colors are unique. Unless it was converted from another unknown dedicated Taito game, I will assume eek:!!) it is a dedicated Tin Star.

Does anyone know who owns this cabinet?

Is this your cabinet?

The blue is much deeper than any other Space Dungeon picture I have seen. I thought the colors were simply the reversed colors of Alpine Ski, but most of the pictures I have are of poor quality, and the cabinet colors could have faded.

If this is yours, does the blue match one of the blue shades in the marquee and bezel? I would like to more accurately show the colors in my side art chart.

Thanks.

Those colors might also go well with an Elevator Action kit..

I thought Pirate Pete was white on black, and Qix was black on white.

Do you happen to have a picture of a cabinet that shows those colors?

Well generally, the 'Taito way' is to use the background color from the side as the foreground color of the kickplate. So black on white would be suggested by the flyer pic. But as all kickplates on this style of Taito cabs are black, it would be hard to do black on black. As we can't see the sides from the flyer, it could be either way I guess. I thought Jon had a pic of one he saved from an ebay auction a few years back?

Alpine Ski blue is light blue.
Space Dungeon is a deeper blue.

I think Pirate Pete was the same as Qix. Does anyone know for sure?

Any corrections to these are welcomed.

These are awesome, thanks for putting them together.

Thanks. Got the correct blue from the flyer, and updated the chart.

Hi! Is that Navy Blue on light Blue, or Black on light Blue? It's hard to tell from jpgs.

My Qix is grey and black. Not white and black.

How much darker is the Space Dungeon blue than say, DK Blue? It looks pretty close, maybe a shade darker:

Was there a special cabinet for Polaris?

Or was it a kit?
