Man its in very good nick for 1978! Its all complete but I doesn't work but haven't tried to fiddle around with it yet so will do soon. The old owner said it lights up but no pic.

Details here: http://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=7173
Its says its a Midway game on the museum but mine it branded Taito as you can see.

Pleased :)
 
Nice, looks pretty clean.

I love these old midway B&W games. It looks like it may have been licensed to Taito from Midway, as the Taito flyer says "Manufactured by Taito" (of course I could be backwards on that)

Side note if it's the midway boardset in there, check the voltages on the PS. Do you get any picture at all?
 
WOW! That looks really nice!

I have a soft spot for some of those old EM machines. Something about them is SO cool!

Nice pickup! Hope you can get it running without too much hassle!

midway bought the license to supply cabs in usa with games that were taito brand ie:space invaders for instance,this would account for why midway and taito have their own version of the game.

nice old classic,remember playing games similar to this at seaside resorts here in uk.

Thatcab looks great! Love seeing the more obscure games! Keep us posted on the resto!
