I searched Universal on KLOV and couldn't find this cabinet. It currently has Mr. Do in it. Thanks for the help

$150.00 and it's yours. It is currently working. Monitor is a little dark. I haven't tried adjusting it.

The cabinet is not the original cabinet...
The cabinet you have is a circa: 1982-1983 TAITO Cabinet that has a cosmic aliens game installed.
The cosmic Aliens Game Cabinet has a level top... Your TAITO Cabinet obviously has a top slanted towards the back...

Dave,


I don't know about that. All of the photos I've seen of cosmic alien have the sloped back. This cabinet appeared original. Maybe they made two types.

Jeff412,
Let me clarify...
Yes they both have sloped tops. But the TAITO top is sloped from the top front to the tiop back.
The original "Cosmic Alien" Cabinet is flat and level at the front top, and starts the slope about 8-10 inches back from the front.
..
It is kinda like a adaptation of some of the Atari Cabinets (like Crystal Castles or Centipede).
...
But you may be right - the picture that was posted doesn't show the whole side view of the top panel slope (but I am satisfied that it shows enough for me to make the statement that I believe it is a conversion - but would I bet my life on it? Let me think on that a while ).
..
Anyway,
This is a really great Forum - back when I had nine Game Rooms, five Arcades and over 2,000 pieces on routes I would have loved to have this resource available.
..
Now I resign myself to building/designing custom units.
....
My favorite was a coffee table cocktail unit. It was really cute and the monitor was a 50" Plasma that was mounted in a cabinet and it would rise up and retract when required. I had a video on a camcorder that a production friend and I dubbed the 2001 Space Odysey song into it - was really cute.

The cocktail sounds awesome. Any photos?

We'll have to see if Alexcc still has the cabinet and maybe he can take a better photo.

Yes, I still have it, still trying to piece it back together. The top back does have a slope.
I'll try and get some pictures of it.
