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

thanks guy
this one is for my personnal collection , it  looks great next to my Dragon's lair.
I already began restoration with old Taito spare parts i have collected years ago like unrepainted coin doors, NOS push buttons and microswitch....

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
