I wanted to share with you some model and photos of Taito cabinet that I discovered during my research (long) on Taito and their cabinet.
Some models are very little known and are not listed in the WikiArcadeOtaku the others are more common but I still wanted to include them (no HD cabinet sorry)
I hope you enjoy!

Some great pics there and great research.
Really interesting seeing these cabs that are so similar to other cabs of the time but different enough to make them stand out. Quite the art form.
The 37" one looks very futuristic with its curves.
Incredible history, thanks for posting. I've never seen some of these before, the Teatro EX 25 is especially cool. I think if my bad translation guessing is accurate that the flyer says there's a Fresnel lens in it to enlarge the image from the reflected 25" monitor.
Very cool pictures, a lot of those older Taito cabinets are really hard to find info for. Would love to see all this collected into something like those joystick gamers magazines.
