Roadtrip: Space Invaders cocktail

[cebulba]

Thanks for the pics.

Budapest is still in my "european cities to visit" list...

There should be no "joystick" - just a white pushbutton like the fire button.

Yes we want to go there too !

No Joystick ? just one button ? OK, so how do you move in two directions that way ? 

OK. Next time I look closer :-)
forgot that the upright had 2 buttons for the  laser base.

What a pearl

It should not be a problem to find a decent replacement for this knob, if not the original.

I really wonder how it feels to play with such a control. Seems totally wacko to me to be honest. What is underneath, hopefully leafs ?

[Q*ris]

Coo catch Béla!
I have the Taito version (not my photo, I stole it on the web to illustrate) but I still have a lot of work on it.
We could do an entire row of space invaders at Eurocade if we combine all the upright and cocktail versions DLFers own

Congratulations Bela : very nice catch, I'm a bit jealous .
Thanks for the report too.

About the knob, you can find one for $2 at Steve Young :
Midway Cocktail Joystick/ Flipper/Control Knob

We got these Midway parts in from another vendor many years ago. They have been sitting on our shelves for a long, long time collecting dust. This is a Joystick/Flipper/Control Knob for some Midway Cocktail games. We are selling it “AS-IS” since we have no way to test it.

I must say.....


The SI match between Bally-Midway and Taito is a draw now.

Taito scored a beautiful goal with the upright, but Bally-Midway made a sneaky counter attack goal with it's cocktail version !

I really like that the vertical monitor set-up is used to go with the natural shape of the cab, that is really nicer than the Taito. It also looks like the monitor is much bigger than the Taito.

That plus the illuminated control panels !

This guy was really poor, ...

This is one of those situations that I actually hope the seller made a good profit.

This was one of those situations, when I did not even try to bargain.
