So i have restored a Taito-Top Speed Machine. It began when i bought a workin one and was given a non working one for free! The working one ha a cab that was in a terrible shape. But i was workin until we moved it from a garage to a location, when it suddenly died. Used the pcb from the broken one and the game booted up again, but i had some issues. Used this fall to do a quick restore and a cab swap. The original cab is beeing transformed, with the help of a kit, to a MK 1. There are currently no artwork for the Taito Machine (as far as i know) and the artwork was in terrible shape. So we did the only thing we could do with it. Rebuild it and repaint it. No one wants to pay much for a top speed as far as i know, so to find the parts and build another top speed was out of the question, but i had a mk1 kit. Here links to some pics.

Yes! But for some reason, the cellphone we used to take the pictures, refuses to work with windows 7-8 or 10, so i can't upload the pictures until we can transfer the pictures.

Thanks! And, keep your fingers crossed, it will start and run flawlessly on X-mas day! (It has been built for a friend who is really into Mortal Kombat) and we hope to have it running during the holidays!
