So i have been busy over the last year and a bit , have added some of these pics to twitter recently as they where coming back to me ... got lucky and was able to call in some one of favors re painting and plating of parts , so most parts are now back with me .....I just now need to remember where all the parts go :eh: :lolno:
I will probably replace a good chunk of the screws ,will be like for like etc so will be slow going doing this(reason I never want to refurb a car ...everything bolt would be changed ) and then eventually need to find out about the mounting plates for the cp :think:

I think mosh mentioned at one point the cp surronds being crap in general and I have to agree.

honesty from when it was a pile of **** (still is ) :lol: and I had it turned on it didn't stand out as much of an issue like it would be on other cabs ,the black glass bezel and the darkness in the cab itself seemed to be enough of a mask for the most part ..... i will look into see what I can do but i'm along way off that yet ......

I've been browsing through certain Hungarian newspapers recently.
Surprisingly, I have just come across this (rather blurry) picture of six Taito MT-8 cabs (the photo was taken in 1997 by Judit Müller).
So thought I'd share it with you as a small addendum to this amazing topic. :)
