nope - 456 euros for a game with a hacked control panel and no idea how the interior looks was too expensive for me - there will be other chances to get one in the future!

Yes, i'm sure there'll be. What do you think is a reasonable price for a space invaders? I personally would pay €300,- max.

agreed! space invaders show up for insane prices on ebay uk quite often (like most cab prices on ebay uk), but from time to time you can get them pretty cheap. i missed out on one last week which sold for around 170 pounds, i think that's a nice price!

i have to agree with andré, that cpo is indeed ugly.

btw, the cpo of the other taito cab was definitely hacked, the seller had sent me some pics which clearly showed that a piece of the plexi overlay had been cut out - ouch!!! :'(

Well you are right!! Zaccaria CPO is not very nice but its all i've got!!

it was made for Space invaders hack called Super Earth Invasion... not bad game actually

But I am after the original Taito CP, the jap one with the buttons..

You can find loads of Midway repros but not Tatio

The Taito CPO is reverse screened on plexi a-la Donkey Kong.  The purple/blue color also appears to have tiny metal flakes in it!

The source from joymonkey is cool, but its also a JPG, so that meand raster....

does not look too hard to vector though, but the silver particles mentioned above will be difficult i guess..

Personally I'd rather have a non-speckled CPO that looks like the original than the one is now on there...

I have the files on my HD, I'll check out what's there and in what size(s)... if Giddygoon is interested of course  ;D
