Pete's new arcade machine
« on: July 08, 2011, 12:43:22 PM »
WOO HOO I just bought a Phoenix Cocktail for myself and can't wait to get her-its an original Taito Phoenix cocktail and works but needs a resto which I can't wait to do have been wanting a cocktail since I sold my Hankin Galaga many years ago !!! to Bumper action so will post pics when she arrives in a few weeks.  I spent alot of time and cash as a kid playing this title and have one on my 48-1 but wanted a table top so best of both world I think and this girl will stay as is she wont be a 60-1.

This was a favorite of mine as well. I have 2-3 original Phoenix boards as well as another AWESOME shoot-em-up game - "Space Firebird".

Be sure to post some pics, Pete !

Well done Pete.    ^^^       I picked up a coctail a few months ago, a 1978 model.  It definately reminded me of when i was a kid at the local milkbar.

Good to see we are all big kids on here still.  ^^^ ^^^

Patience, Pete - It will be worth the wait. Don't stress, transport companies usually have unforseen delays !
