Taito Trimline Rehab

After countless woman hours, too much dinero, and two Taito Si Trimline cabs, I give thee, my fully working AND complete SI Trimline!!!


A couple of weeks ago fellow forum member Tighe alerted me to another Trimline for sale in Queens, NY. I wrote the seller immediately and waited anxiously by the phone for his call. It brought me back to my high school days waiting for Bobby the QB to invite me to the prom. I thought that between this cab and my cab I could complete my Trimline project.

After a few hours the seller contacted me and I got in my car and drove over 3 hours to pick it up. I have spliced together the best parts of each cab to create an uber cab. Finally this project is over!

Was it worth all of the money? The time? The trip to Queens? HELL YES!

Scott, it is here. I toyed with going the multi Taito route or possible installing SI Part II, but I am going to sell it. It is near complete and in solid shape.

PM me with details. Since I want to make it a multi, I would like to hear your reasons for not. Thanks.

Nice Job. Curious as to why there are square pieces of electrical tape on the wires coming out of the transformer though. In progress shot of closing them off or some other reason?

I have no idea. Both Trimlines are like that.

Now that the stores are open again I am off to get some bulbs for my coin doors!
