Well hello I am 53 and love the old type arcades , you know the ones 70s-90s now they are all ticket machines ☹️
Anyway I made a arcade machine 10+years ago IMG_4594.jpeg
Which you can just about see in the left corner.
So fast forward a good few years and bought this just before Christmas A397386B-2DAC-47AC-B991-B878EC00FD5C.jpeg
The chap I got if from said his dad used to work for tatio and it has been in the family since 79 but it stopped working. So they found a company in Blackpool which repairs them, but unfortunately was told it was unrepairable so basically it has had its hart and sole taken out of it . It’s now running a 60in1 board and a monitor in it , looking at the monitor it looks like the conversion was done back in 08 . I think the legs have been recently been powder coated and there are nuts welded to the bottom of the legs so I cut down some pinball levellers for feet IMG_2063.jpegdon’t know anything about these cocktails tables , so any info about theses would be great !!

Sadly it doesn’t have a CRT anymore ! But it does have a nice story about the machine .
The instruction cards are Tatio but the game says it is Space Firebird which does match the control panel but I always thought it was made by Nintendo . IT would be nice to refit a CRT back in or somehow reinstall Space Firebird as well !
