| Identify this cabinet: Taito --> It's QIX! |

| Shifty:
Introductions: First time poster, long time mamer. ;) So I picked up a very stripped cab, and am curious what it was. Something tells me it was made by Taito ... ;D Everything inside and out was painted black, there was a sticker on the back that was painted over, all I can make out is a hand written "L355". It was completely stripped except for a 1942 control panel (not original) and coin door. I assume this was some sort of generic cab. FYI, I'm using this for a mame conversion, I've got it working with a redesigned keyboard/joyport hacked control panel, marquee and powered by a smokin' P2-350 with 64 MB ram! I'm running Mame32 37b.14 (yup, before the renumbering system LOL). I just need a glass bezel and it will look complete. I'll post some pics and details in the projects section later on. Edit: Resized picture. |
| Raven..:
I have one just like it in my garage. Reworked and ready to go as a classics cab. :) Mine was originally a Qix, then converted to Zoo Keeper, and ended as a SilkWorm before I MAMed it. |

I had one just like that also that I believe started as a Jungle King. It was painted over on the sides though. I believe Taito used that shape on MANY of their games. Good luck. J_K_M_A_N |

Qix or Zarzon maybe? http://arcade.thelittons.net/taito.htm |
| Crazy Cooter:
Qix. That's the same as mine (that I got from J_K_M_A_N). I peeled off some of the paint and have the same coloring. The Zarzon is the 1st generation cab AFAIK. [edit] There is interest in getting the sideart stencil http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=13;action=display;threadid=19558 and cab dimensions verified http://www.arcadecontrols.org/yabbse/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=11347;start=280 I'm also interested in how you plan to do your CP. I've decided on a modular approach similar to Doc's cabinet. |
