Just thought to show 2 Taito cabs i picked up , yes sure they are "TURDS " to the standards you have , and the fantastic opportunity`s you have in the USA for dedicated cabs [ you are very fortunate ] .

But these 2 are getting kitted out with games , i got one with Scramble , one with Tetris
years ago i bought some headers and CP`s , [ probably from someone here ] , got them from the states . these are skinny crap looking , but i got them both for under $200.00

These will be workhorses for me to play most my games , the black Upright at the back has been playing my games for some 10 years , it is plain and boring to look at , but back then , that didnt matter at all .

You will see my machines grow a bit , now i have this forum to buy from , and the next machines will be dedicated .

Machines not in this pic , are my Hankin Cocktail , and the Asteroids

My aim back then was to be able to just "PLAY MY FAV " games , now it`s time to add class to the room . first machine coming soon is a dedicated Gravitar ,

Who knows , in the future , i might do a " WE ARE IN THE BASEMENT " LOL

that red front art and sideart look sweet. I like it. If you get a chance, try and take a straight on photo of the entire front and one entire side? I'd like to make those into a digital model. You can cruise my 3D models in my signature with a search key word of 'taitio' and it should bring up most all of the others that have been made so far.
 
Man, I like those in red. I have a Frog and Spiders cab, looks like yours save the paint is sort of an aqua green and blue.

Here is the KLOV pic.

I would take one in red and black in a heart beat.
 
Those red Taito cabs look sweet. I wouldn't mind owning one myself.

It looks like they may have started life as Taito's licensed version of Defender.

I think those cabs look cool but I will say that the control panel angle is a little rough on the wrists if you play for a while. Other than that I like the style of cab.
