Hi, is there such a thing as a 3 button cocktail cabinet, i'm on about the ones from the late 70's? early eighties, one of the old ones, but if i can find one with 3 buttons i can play more modern pcbs on it.

Anyone know if you can rotate monitor with these to play hori and vert?

Thanks for any help/advice.

you can order a kit from arcadedepot.com and make a custom button layout. i've been putting off getting one from them forever. my place is just too small.

I have an old Taito cocktail cabinet. My mother thinks its worth grands lol.

Cocktails only work in Tate mode. The frame holding the monitor is fixed and the window that goes over the tube is only vertical.

3 buttons is fine, but really cocktails are designed with very simple games in mind.

Mine is a asteroids clone called Vortex, made by the American branch of Taito.. Probably rare as rocking horse shit, but nobody cares.

Some are fixed horizontal. There are even a couple that rotate, candy cocktails - strange things.

Capcom Co. Ltd. even produced such a rare side-by-side yoko-oriented cocktail table styled arcade cabinet -- in fact, one was shown in person at the 2006 California Extreme show. With two 8-way digital based joysticks and 6-button setup per player. Pretty obscure arcade cabinet for such a SF2 game anyways..... ^_~
