I had posted this as a part of "Machines for sale" type thread, but am hoping to move it a little bit faster now that some of the other items have sold.
I have gotten it at the garage door (from the 2nd story) so it is ready for a fast load!!

Re-checked it out after moving it, here are some details:
-98% working, one coin slot doesn't give credits, will check more when I get time.
-Still has an original solid base, taito cabs are notorious moisture magnets and the base is made of MDF. I actually have some plywood scraps I was saving to remake the base, doesn't need it, but the plywood is free if you want it.
-Monitor has a great picture (WG4900), but does have minor burn. Upstairs it gave me a bit of magnetic color, thought it was in need of a cap kit (likely just needed degaussed), but once downstairs the picture looks great. Wonder what I have in the walls up there??
-Side Art is good with scuffs and scrapes as would be expected.
-Lock mechanism is missing from the back door, a long cam lock would do.
-while I would say it doesn't have moisture damage in the traditional sense, it does have "fuzzy" corners on the bottom... pictures coming.
-Everything else looks good, crappy Taito linear supply was replaced with a switcher.
-All controls work as they should, new white buttons.

Just the corners are fuzzy, not seen this before on other machines.
Almost like it got rubbed... original base is still solid, so not likely direct water exposure.

Ah, forgot, the plexi bezel does have some scratches.
Apparently the previous owner had slung the cord over the top and the plug was dangling just touching the bezel...
It is very noticeable, but still usable. You can see them in the picture of the CP using the flash.

You can tell I bought too many machines too fast.
Never did get around to detail cleaning the coin door and such... ouch.
As far as I know, this looks to be 100% stock with exception of the switcher.
(History is that this resided with an Op for 20 or so years in his basement, I bought it a year ago, he was located just an hour below Cleveland)

Location is: Zip 25033

-3 hours east of Cincinnati
-3 hours south of Columbus.
-45 minutes west of Charleston WV
-2 hours west of Beckley, WV


Just ask if you need more pictures, or want pics of something specific.

I want some of the parts from it but shipping the whole thing to Oregon just dont make sense. If you decide to part it out let me know, I'm about 80% of the way there with mine!

Na, no parting for now. I'm assuming it will go eventually.
Only selling due to space and bills.

I do have a spare PCB that works, but has an extended explosion sound issue.
I do know the issue is only on the bottom CPU board.
Boots, coins up, and plays fine otherwise.
$55 shipped if you want it.
 
AWWW HELL, lets get this moving.

PRICE DROP!!


$300 firm.
Trades: I would consider a Mario Brothers wide body or Midway Cocktail.
