Thanks to:

I couldn't say no to make this table after Akiles5000 sent me a perfect redraw of the playfield and Carlos had new images of the plastics.

Another marvellous table by the Taito-Team.

The ball rolls smooth as butter and the playfield is sooo sharp.

You really have done a fantastic job JPSalas!!

All of these Taito tables play great, and look amazing!!

Carlos Guizzo and Akiles5000 couldn't have found a better person to share their resources with!!

Sometimes all of the planets line up, and just the right events fall into place, and great things happen.

This is one of those events, where all the right people got together, to produce the most amazing recreations, that help preserve Taito history in a VPX time capsule!!!

Each table is like an old song that you like. When you hear it playing on radio, it takes you back in time to a certain place in your life.

That is what it is like for me when I play these tables, or any other older computer games or video games.

This stuff is exciting to me!!! You are helping to preserve these tables for all time!!

This may not have been the original reason for why Visual Pinball came into existence, or why people started to make VP tables, but I feel at the core of all emulation, the need to preserve the history of these long lost games or tables or systems, is a crucial part of it. Many of these old tables and games are disappearing from existence with each year that passes. I am not sure if all of you table authors and resource gatherers realize just how important your work truly is. History is being preserved, for future generations to enjoy!!  This is exciting folks!!!

All of your work and contributions to this community are definately appreciated my friends, and you all are more important to this community than you will ever know!!

Thank you all!!!

Carry on.

Agreed. But, we shouldn't forget Wildman and his backglasses in this mix. It just shows when teamwork runs smooth.

The table looks great and plays even better. I like the mechanical sound when shoting the ball into the u-turn.
Thanks to all guys involved

The walls 73/77/78 all end before the gate, so the ball can hit the bumper 2 in the shooter lane.

 

If this is the case the ball bumps endlessly between bumper and wall 20 forth and back.

Here it is the closed image I have (from Carlos Gizzo ) of the right top of the table. I see I could have lowered a little more the gate. But besides from that, I see that the ball can hit the bumper too in the real table. l never had that error, but you can always add some randomness to the bumper, say 5 or 10. That maybe should be enough to get out of the loop.

I did that. Thank you for your answer. And one more "thank you" for all your wonderful tables.

Can JP or someone help translate the Instruction Card. I found a couple online & they are in Portuguese. I entered all the text into a couple online translators & got different but similar results. But the details need clarification. Here's a card..

Here's the best I can figure out from piecing together the different translations.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1 PLUG (file, card, sheet) PER PLAYER. DO NOT PUT PLUG (file, card, sheet) WITH RED LAMP LIT.

BUTTON IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR INTRODUCES PLAYERS. ALSO MAKES BALL OUT OF CACAPAS TO START.

After the end of the match the current Record and demonstrated.

COSMIC LETTERS - Each time you delete the letter set of the word COSMIC, you will be informed in the numerical corridor.

NUMERIC RUNNER - When you hit the flashing hallway, you have lit the extra or special ball.

PLANS - They are advanced towards the extra or special ball by collapsing the bank, which can be done either with a direct ball or hitting the corresponding target.

BUTTONS of FLIPPERS-Also move the letters on the COSMIC Word.
-------------------------------------

 

Thanks for any help.

[Brer Frog]

Carlos Guizzo was kind enough to translate the instruction card & it looks good.

Thank you Carlos.
