SOLD PLEASE DELETE

Mark your items as sold
Do you have any pics of the inside or of it running?
Does it include a Type X?
Is there a power supply?
What monitor is it?
 
(Thinking out loud) If this doesn't sell by the weekend, I'm probably going to move it back down to the basement. I really don't want to sell it, but need the money.
 
Whats the story with Phoenix Technologies here, was this jus an office cab, or used in a project with their technology?

I honestly wish I knew. I bought this from someone that said the employee was gifted the cab. The coin slot had tape over it inside the CP and the cab came with a Taito X, move strip and a sega jvs io. The sign I posted a pic of was inside the marquee holder inside the cab. These extra parts are not included.

I'm really interested, but really wanted an Egret 2 for the rotation feature.. didn't realize 3 didn't have it!

Also, that's a flat monitor, and I'm not sure what the thoughts are on how these look while gaming old school games?

It is super clean though, so I am interested!
 
Dumb question, but is the wiring there for all the buttons? Even some of my CAVE shooters have 3 buttons.

It's a little different. What you're going to find is the flat look is kind of it's own thing, not bad, just not the same. And since this is a tri-sync 15khz content looks sharper, with more defined scanlines.

It's more of a PVM like picture if you have experience with those. It's a personal preference thing.
 
Tri sync with a Toshiba PF monitor sounds like dream (unless it has a Wei-ya) You can play 480p and 388p games likes Gradius IV with auto switch unlike the Astro where you have to reach your hands through the back panel and move a jumper for 24khz.

You’ll be able to enjoy Naomi games Etc in full HD.

Honestly I don’t see these going down on value. So if you don’t break it. You will be able to sell it for more in the future.

Phoenix makes PC BIOSes (your own computer may have one by them) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Technologies . They were responsible for the TTX BIOS and some custom security stuff for Taito:

This cab looks like it was part of some corporate showcase or exhibit which highlights the diverse places their technology is found (see the explanation sign like something you'd see on an exhibit). Since it's an American company, a Japanese arcade cabinet is a pretty cool/exotic thing to have in such a place, particularly if it's playable. Screen is vertical and only 2 buttons so they probably had one of the TTX Raidens running on it if I had to guess (a series Americans are familiar with). A neat interactive part of an exhibit. It probably went to some lucky employee once it started seeming old fashioned or whatever exhibit it was part of closed.

EDIT: What's interesting here is this may have come direct from Taito to Phoenix while it was still new tech with zero use in public arcades, making this potentially a pretty well preserved cab.

OHHHHH It's THAT Phoenix! That did not click at all lol. Got it thanks!

Probably a working sample to test their technology. We do the same with partners and ODM's.
 
Don't think the entire cab would be necessary for that, I'm sure they had some rig for testing. I really think this is something used exclusively for PR reasons (feel like somethig used in testing would be way more beat up). Like they hit up Taito and said hey send us one of those cabs to put in our lobby or little corporate museum or whatever. The sign kinda convinces me because I've seen similar things in plenty of places where some company is showing off all the zany places you can find its tech

e: Like picture it next to (hypothetically) an ATM machine, self checkout POS terminal, smart fridge, etc all with those little placards
