My Taito MAME Cocktail
« on: February 13, 2006, 03:06:10 pm »
Please see my cocktail table work in progress, Machine is now up and running and using Cocktail FE (All games vertical orientation)

Finally made a start on my webpage:-

I know it's not much but it's a start ;-))

The wife has made me put my beloved table in the garage for a while until we finish moving the house around :-((

All work No Play For A Bit.........

Nice ! Your Taito looks just like my Tehkan Pleiads that I bought yesterday !

Take a look at :

Could you please put up some more pics of the outside of the cocktail. What did you have to restore (metal, woodwork etc. ) ?

Thx !

I just bought a similar cab, but my screen is dead. Are you using the original screen or did you buy it? I'm having trouble finding a suitable screen so if you did, where did you get it?

Where did you get Cocktail FE?  I tried the link from mameworld.net, but it was dead.  I've got a cocktail I'm looking at purchasing, and wasn't sure about what would be a good front end for it.  Sounds like that may be the one.  Does it set all the games up automatically to flip for player change, or do you still need to go into each game and adjust in there?

Hey Danny_Galaga, cool site, but may I give a suggestion for it ?
The blue background makes reading the black text very hard. Might think of changing the text (or background)  color. Otherwise, great work on your cocktail and thanks for the site !!!
