some Taito stickers with the following numbers but nothing comes up on google
It's got 3 boards the the middle one says Taito TVN00003 and the bottom Board says Taito TVN00002 Serial Number 680435

Hi I have a cocktail cabinet I purchased of ebay, and the screen is garbled when I turn it on I get about 8 broken blocks on the screen 4 on the left
and 4 on the right. What does this mean apart from it not working I took a photo of the screen but I dont know how to upload it.
Does the broken blocks mean gameboard fault.

well space invaders uses a 3 board set if i aint mistaken.what you should do is go find the manual for the space invader cocktail table and look at the schems for the boards,it will tell you the part numbers/board numbers and if they are the same looks like you have space invader table top.
also this is restoration thread not one for asking technical questions if i aint mistaken.at least keep your questions to one thread instead of creating what looks like 2 already.
do a space invader table top restore and then ask there,also include as much info and pics as possible.all you do is upload to tinypic and copy the link and paste it into a post.

Hi I have this coming up on my Taito Space Invader Machine I have not decided whether to try restore it or gut it and clean it all up and fit a 60 in 1 jamma board in. I will post more pics later. I have checked and replaced all fuses.
Any thoughts on what is the fault? there is also no sound when you switch on the machine.
Chrome legs need sorting out full of rust and the metal base is also rusty. And the top is quite scratched and underlay needs replacing along with the Space Invader Game Cards. Yikes seem a lot of work lol.
