Anyone own an Egret 29 with a Card Reader?

Post by twistedsymphony »

I'm the happy owner of a couple of Taito Egret 29 Cabs. There were some optional card readers that were installed in the control panel (there's a removable panel along the front edge on the right side as well as mounting studs for the PCBs inside the control panel box).

I've love to own the proper card readers for these cabs but I've had a lot of trouble even finding information about them so i can start looking.

The only information I've found is the reference to the optional "TCR" parts in the Egret 29 Parts manual, but that seems to only include the internal Taito Part numbers and some line drawings:

I just wound up with another Egret 29, and this one has the entire TCR system installed. The rollers in the card reader have turned to dust, as well as the belts, but I think it can be refurbed. Once I repair the TCR power supply and get some cards I think it can be revived.

The card reader itself is an off-the-shelf Panasonic part.
