Also , i have this glass i wouldn`t mind getting identified .

The pic shows it ok , but its more focused in real life [ ignore the fluro tube in it ]

Back of woodwork has Midway stamp on it ,

Sort of looks vectorish , Blackwidow ? , i don`t know , someone will !

Any help is great .

Taito's Indian Battle, Marine Date and Rock Climber used similar design bezels, but were multi-colored. Yours appears to be all red.

The closest color match I could find was Indian Battle, attached below.

I wonder if the wooden backing is original to the glass?

That's the original woodwork for a Japanese-built Taito "Taitronics" cabinet.

That type of bezel was also used on the Taito version of Defender, but with some different colors mixed in.

Taito also released some of those striped Taitronics cabinets with "NEW GAME" marquees with a piece of paper that could be replaced with whatever game was installed.

If anyone has the blue version of this bezel, I could use it :eek:

I might sound silly here it`s been a long time since i had my games going [ too damn long ]

But this bezel must of come from this , or one of these Taito Cabs i have , it sounds obvious , but they have been seperated for 3 years , as the monitor from this cab , is still at my techs house , so yes that checker pattern is not black widow , it is from this cab [ these ]

I wish I can find that kind of cab here! Those cabs are a very rare sight in the states! Still looking for a Rock Climber and Indian Battle cabs and/or parts to make one! Not an easy feat!

That bezel might have come from one of the "Space" series games. I'm thinking Space Cyclone...

It`s funny you say that , as i didnt value these cabs much when i got them , why ?

Well they are only 15/32 wide board instead of 3/4 , so that to me was cheap and nasty , andmade me think they were say late 80`s , instead of nice and early , they are light ,etc .

But when i got them , all i cared about is that i can have another 2 games going in my room

That is the most important to me , and still is ! plus one was scramble , one tetris .
