I found a couple of these Taito boards in a box of old random stuff. I belive they are credit boards of some description? Any idea what games they were used in?

Thanks

i'm not a Taito expert, but i'm guessing they had more than one flavor (?) ... the credit board from my Crazy Climber ...

Huh, the one in my Crazy Climber looked like the one in the OP.

I never did track down what the dips on the board do.
 
Saturday morning, sipping coffee and watching old TNT vids ... happened to see Todd's Taito cabaret collection video, and he broaches the credit boards a couple times when discussing Crazy Climber and Moon Shuttle. Around 6 min 50 sec into the video when chatting about CC ...


to paraphrase, he notes that swapping the boards allowed Ops to "change the denomination of how many credits you got, depending upon how many clicks to send it to the board." he calls it odd, and mentions there were "formulas" and "a book". perhaps the dips on OP's boards allow for the coin value changes without swapping boards?
