Wrote up this piece for the blog about Taito Taitan arcade cabinets. They were built in Cheltenham for the UK market and didn't last long! A handful are still around. Cool bit of arcade history!

Another good read, thanks Tony.

I wonder what the 12 games available for the cabinet were?

I remember these at a local fairground a few times years back.

Nice article! Thanks for writing.
The SI part 2 machines at Jim’s arcade, in front of the pleasure beach had three of these heads, presumably rescued when the original cabs were scrapped.

Oh that's cool - any objections to me adding that pic to the article? (with a credit to you of course).

Go for it! There’s another picture in the album with a straight on view as well, where you can see the side bits. Use whatever you want. 👍
