I sold a space invader to a good friend because it was more of a grail to him than it was to me. My friends put up a fuss so I went shopping for another SI. I ran across this little gem well maybe not a gem to most of you here but a gem to me.

It's some odd little Japanese space invader game cocktail game. It has a some rough edges and It does need a cap kit. I wonder if there are cap kits for seiko monitors. it's got a little wave in the corner of the screen.

The main board in it is not your typical L shape board. My camera ran out of power before I got to snap a picture of the inside. I will add the pictures of the inside after I charge up the phone again.

Sorry not a Space invader.
It's a Space Intruder from Shoei
I didn't know shoei even made a cocktail version of this game.
Color is is not from an over Over lay.

It has socketed memory. Using 2114 a couple of blanks of them with a 8080 processor with 2516 eproms.
I don't think there an Japanese to English switch. There is a degauss button on it and a credit switch.
The coin mechanism is in parts and I need to find some barrel locks. The on off switch doesn't work.
 
Nothing like a 60 hertz shuffle to keep you awake lol. So I am working on this and has some 2 prong plug on it Not even polarized. Touch the metal bits and get a little buzz.

It's got a new 3 prong plug, a repaired On/off switch and the coin mech now works. I just have to wait by the mail box for some locks and caps.
 
some kinda generic taito ripoff clone table?
