Pete's Arcade
« on: Yesterday at 07:27:48 am »
Finished a reproduction of a TAITO cab recently for my son. We are all Oklahoma State University alumni (my dad, me, the wife, and 5 sons) so we went with a Pistol Pete inspired "Petes" theme. I had a badly damaged TAITO cab that we scavenged the brackets, glass retainers, and some other misc things from. We also used it to model how to assemble the cab.

We used the original TAITO side art as a basis and then added our OSU flair to it. My son wanted old school feel. Single player, retro graphics, we even used the original speaker.



You can find more info about the cab and the build here: https://cowboyarcadeproject.com/?page_id=774

I even went so far as to convert the TAITO logo to a PETES logo which is on the marquee and stencil on the speaker panel:
