Name that cabinet!

I'm pretty sure that the above cab is a Space Invaders Tatio cab but I need some veteran eyes to verify.

It's a Taito alright. the only other cocktail cab with metal legs iv'e seen is the Nintendo cocktail and it's top isn't rectangular. it's got cutouts on the sides. (like the cocktail just off to the left of that pic)

the cabinets Taito made went through a couple different iterations depending on the game, and without seeing the control panel area/ coin slot insertion area/speaker location... it's hard to nail down exactly which one.

Probably Taito or Sega. But I would not assume it was Space Invaders. The same cocktail cabinet was used for many games.

aye. it has the look of a Taito but theres no evidence as to what game it actually was.

[jdbailey1206]

I should go pick it up and find out.  Wish the guy had a better picture.

don't think it is a sega, they have cutout similar to the nintendo...

I say generic. Monitor cutout appears to be square for monitor rotation based upon game installed. Also taito tables had the locks on the player 1 side.


good day.

Since we don't know what kind of table it is...Is it safe to say I should pay $125.00 for it?

[chopperthedog]

No glass or monitor bezel, you don't know what boards are in there, it looks like that top has been wet. I wouldn't take it if it was free (imho). Get that DK cocktail for $125 (if it has all the guts).


good day.

assuming you'd be gutting it and not restoring it, i'd probably do 50. it been wet...for a while.

the legs look rusty, and it's going to cost at least 100 bucks to get it to 150 sale condition. (glass, paint, and your time and effort)

pass @ 150 unless you can get both for 150, then go look at it IRL and think about it. if the guts aren't what you are after, tell him to keep the boards and sell the on ebay or something. give you a deal. get them out of his hair.

i've personally chopped up nicer looking full size cabs and chucked them in the dumpster. if someone offered me 20 bucks for it i'd have loaded it in their truck for them just so i din't have to spend an hour chopping it down.
