I bought Alpine Ski today. I got it from a guy that got it from a guy that got it from me years ago. I think it got passed around because it's not exactly most peoples' favorite Taito. Also, there's something up with the board where you can never die (is this is a setting???) and the cabinet isn't that great. It's not really swollen all over, but it has a LOT of bumps and scars that are swollen and the front panel is a bit lumpy.
My plan is to disassemble it, copy it and build a couple of Taito cabinets for Qix and ZK, then restore the Alpine Ski. After seeing it again, I think to make it NICE it would need a new front and sides. Not sure if Alpine Ski is worth the effort, stencils, and material. I'm thinking 3/4" MDF for most of the Taito cabinet panels. Won't take as much prep for paint, will be dead flat, close to OEM material, and should weigh a ton.
