What cab is this? Cocktail!

I don't know...that REALLY looks like a homemade cab to me!    :laugh2:

Yes, there are rails inside- but that's not that hard to make.

The odd orientation of the monitor doesn't look like any cocktail I've ever seen!

It's definitely not homemade.

Looks like a generic Taito cab to me. They used to be really common in the UK. Most of them ran one of the Space Invaders variants, or Lunar Rescue.

If it's in reasonable condition then I'd say you got a bargain.

Bingo..... seen many a Space Invaders in those style cabs.
(I have one too)

Cheers guys... appreciate the feedback! That's the problem with listings like that... could be a real bargain or it could be a total dump... the ambiguity means it is never likely to go for much though... we'll have to wait and see... best start making a move to get my collections sorted out tomorrow... :P

Tah Dah!

Collected today. Absolutely knackered... carrying this upstairs by my (skinny) self wasn't a good idea!

Overall, condition is pretty bloody good... not minty or anything but I'd never expect it to be. £52 is a bargain! (I didn't have change!) Plugged it in and the monitor turns white so it looks promising! No PCB so I can't try it yet. Not sure what kind of harness it is - I've included a picture below - if anyone could tell me that would be a real help! Overall, I'm really happy with this. Silly, silly money for a really nice cab. This will look the nuts in our office/studio! ;D
