Taito Space Invaders Cocktail. $50.. Was only a 25 min drive to go pick up. In decent shape.

Nice pick up. Great price.
Does it work?
Those terrible ergonomics are probably the reason they use a joystick on the cocktails but buttons for movement on the uprights.
What a steal! Congrats on your new Taito Cocktail! I've been looking hard for this one. Missed a couple local SI Part II's as well.
I don't mind the ergonomics myself. If you know what grip to use for the joystick, use your thumb to shoot, get the right sized chair (or adjustable), and adjust the legs to the right height (use 6mm hex/Allen key), then you're in business. It's more comfortable for me to look at the smaller screen with the dark bezel too.
If you need any help getting it fixed, contact Andy from www.andysarcade.com.
Also, check your voltages! http://www.andysarcade.net/personal/tech/SIvolts/index.htm
$200 for this, is it worth it? Everything is there, PCB's and all, dont know the history of it or when the last time it worked. It does nothing when plugged in and thats as far as my friend got with it and now wants to sell it. It would look good in my collection next to my Defender, Asteroids, and Stargate.
