Space Invader Taito Table Top Restore Help Needed
Darren01274:
Yeah parts seems quite hard to find I managed to find the coin door on ebay.com think it was something like $60 and about $40 postage. by the time I have finished I probably will end up spending the same if not more than what its worth. I have had the legs and metal box shot blasted and powder coated that cost me £30. I found the Tatio key for the locks that cost me £10. then the top will prob cost me £50. then there the game board repair I paid £100 for the cabinet

englkish table tops and plastic candy cab imitations (fobt) i am not keen on,i have woned 2 table tops,1 was a taito and i owned a fbiot i converted.
i have a generic 60in1 upright so i got my vertical jamma cab,now i am more into dedicated cabs,i have star castle,just needs the monitor sorting,i went and turned a wrong pot and lost the pic,someone can probably sort that out for me in future,i got my space zap which is being restored at the mo,its coming along nicely.i got a gremlin/sega cab i am going to put moon cresta in and i do have a midway table top i bought which is in bournemouth,i got to wait for courier to pick that up,i intend to convert it to a full blooded galaga table top.the american table top (midway) is the best one going.cos galaga cabs are hard to find here in uk,best option was to convert a midway table top to galaga.

What can I use to spray the glass black I was looking at Plasti-Kote Spary Paints but didnt mention it was for glass. Will any spray paint do or does it need to be special spray paint.
rchadd:
dont bother painting the glass just make yourself an underlay
on my cocktail table i got a big sheet of black cardboard from an art shop and cutout a hole out for the monitor in the middle and put it under the glass and then trimmed around the edges :)
think it looks good

then of course you could decorate with stickers if you wanted...either print yourself or i see someone on ebay.co.up selling repro si instruction sheets etc
