Congratulation Rémi, this one will look terrific in the middle of your shop (or maybe this one will go to the museum?) :-*

i will soon make better pictures of cabinet and restoration, all i can say is that it was pretty hard to get cabinet into my future personnal museum!
The reason? This room is located at the 7th floor without elevator
The nice thing is that i probably got the best view for a gaming room.
It is located in front of the Sacré Coeur in Paris France.
Thanks to my parents for buying this room years ago

Very very pretty.  :spaceace:

Haven't seen one of those before in the US. Keep updated on the restoration. I'd love to see how it turns out.

Should have known I would have waved at you two years ago ;)

Still, 7 stories without elevator....that's even worse than Ully's place  !!  ;) ;)

Great looking machine!  Isn't the control panel and bezel one big piece of plexiglas/perspex on those?

 Anybody happen to have a spare Taito 100 Yen coin door insert like that?  ;D

Title: Re: My new toy! Taito space invaders part 2 upright
Post by: rémi 75 on August 02, 2011, 07:00:37 PM

yes you are right it's one piece of pexiglass, and it's very easy to open

Love that cab... just got one myself!

Post by: level42 on December 12, 2011, 07:00:06 PM

I like everything better about the Taito SI with one exception: the half-mirror moon set-up on the Midway is simply brilliant...but everything else this one is nicer IMHO.

I have a few chips and scratches like Remi's cab. I wanted to fix those up. Any thoughts?

I understand that all the artwork is vinyl, is that right?

Really nice cab. I have the multigame board installed (Braze) which allows me to play 8 games that were built on this boardset.

weird.
anyway it's fixed now.
I meant the other taito version of the SI part2, the one with the blue moon, neon and red backdrop.
@ simplesi: are you sure it's vinyl? I don't own one but from what I remember it's silkscreened on the wood plank.

Title: Re: My new toy! Taito space invaders part 2 upright
Post by: simplesi on December 13, 2011, 02:16:38 PM

Definitely sure it's vinyl. Can you see the print work just below the coin door?

Ok, good to know!
