Hang on - before you "Jamma" anything, please send a pic of what you have. If you've really got a Midway Space Invaders Cocktail in the UK then please don't hack it about and Jamma it. They're really pretty rare in the UK.
Obviously it's yours to do what you will with, I'm just saying 'n' all...

Wow, bad mood are we???
You're absolutely right, as I ALREADY SAID, yes, it is your machine to do exactly as you please. No I wouldn't have bought it when it was for sale as I didn't see it and I don't like cocktail cabs anyway. And no I can't help you. Not sure I would even if I could now anyway.
I was merely pointing out the obvious before someone else does!

Dude, if you are going to jamma it, you either need to remove the wiring that is there and use a jamma harness or visually look at the existing wires, and use a meter to check that they are going to where you expect. Either way you will need to get access to the control panels
the cocktails wiring is all intact bar the wires that go to the molex connector for the original monitor,the connector was cut off but i think i supplied that molex with the cab?
the cps can only connect to 2 molex connectors on the actual loom,nothing else will,theres a connector for the power board,one for the coin door and then theres 2 others for the cps,so its not hard to figure that one out.they will both basicly have the same amount of wires on them and the cp just slips on them.
also that loom is perfect,theres no probs at all with it,the problem i was having with the cab was the power board which you didnt get as i think i threw it.

Just remove the old harness and re wire it with a cheapo jamma harness from ebay - they have all the control wires fitted with spade connectors. Easy peasy.
Martin is correct about trying to preserve rare cabs, but sometimes it isn't economical...

Shame, lovely rare cabinets. Just out of curiosity why didn't you use one of the countless taito cab shells you see being sold?
If you're going to butcher it, you might as well do it in style and rip everything out including the control panels. I'm sure the joysticks are only 2 way and you have just 1 button, meaning you can only play a dozen or so games from the 60 in 1. You need an 8-way and 2 buttons.
My upright space invaders has been very reliable, but it's like owning a classic car, you can't just buy it and expect it to work indefinitely without maintenance and having key skills like being able to solder, using a MM etc..

i have a 60-1 cocktail already running,ill swap u for your before you finish?
this IS an arcade collectors forum by the way,we like to keep/restore them,
we ALL hate 60-1/mame etc in a rare dedicated cab.
finally arguing on the forum can sometimes bite u in the ass,but im sure u knew that already.
im sure this cab would suit u better
