Newbie Introduction
« on: February 09, 2014, 12:49:20 AM »
After being scolded in the F/S section for not introducing myself (and quite rightly so!) I am hereby introducing myself  ;)

I am in the process of restoring a Taito Space Invaders cab, hoping to find some good contacts and hopefully have it finished this year

Looking for Dragons Lair 1 or 2, Space Ace, Double Dragon, Robotron and yeah... a Shinobi would be cool, too!

Hi there and welcome!
Don't believe the hype parts ARE available, it's just a matter of time and ...luck :)
I found a perfect bezel for my Taito SI a few months ago after a million years of asking/looking everywhere!
The rest of the parts like coin doors and such can often be stolen from less iconic Taito cabs...
I'll keep my eyes peeled for you  ;)
