Hello from Sunny Dorset

Hola all, I was brought up in arcades so have been a great arcade fan since, owning several pinballs, fruit machines & arcade machines over the years.

It’s time to move house and after selling my pinballs earlier this year, I am only left with my Taito cocktail that I’ve had for donkeys years and my upright cabinet running MAME. The question is do I refurb and keep the cocktail or is it time to pass on or get rid of everything and start with a clean sheet once the move has happened. 😂👍🤪🎅

Welcome to the forum.

Your decision depends on space really, can you store them while you sort the move. Prices have been all over the place since lockdown so might cost more to buy again.

Taito cocktails are so iconic

Thanks for your responses….whichever route I go down, I guess I need to get the cocktail back up and running.

I was looking through my spare parts and totally forgotten that many years ago I purchased some new old stock SI 2 control panels that I was going to modify and fit as I currently have 4 way joysticks fitted, however I now think that It may be more lucrative to leave the existing control panels on it and sell the NOS SI2 panels on….i am guessing these things are getting rarer, what sort of value do you think they have for the pair ??? I see reproductions are over £100.
