There was a Taito basketball EM machine (missing dome I think) and a coin drop type EM game on US ebay within the past couple of years.

I want to say the basketball machine went for ~$350 USD.  Some of their EMs in the US were re-branded as "Crown" products.

That is pretty cool.

I just picked up a manual and schems for the inspiration that led to Taito Space Invaders. Space Monster.

The only picture I can find which is poor is:

I've also picked up EM manuals for Rat Patrol, Rapid Fire and Western *something* (will check when I am home).

I cannot find ANYTHING about them on the 'net.
