Space Invaders table top

Elsa TLC · 10 Dec 2025

Hello All

I have a 1970s table top Space Invaders table.

Lights up makes noise but it will no longer take a coin.

The little credit button neither works either.

Would anyone know where I could take this for repair?

What about the guys on the repair shop, one does pin ball machines and another does electronics?

I'm guessing that the two coin/credit cables go to the same place on the circuit board, which are probably two "push to make switches".
Can you open it up and have a look to see if there is a problem with the connection ?

As gareth says it's worth looking at the coin op mechanism, possibly just needs a blast of ait or a bit of lube. Also do the covers have interlock switches that may have failed or stuck.Failing that try googling "arcade game repairs uk"

Wow. I forgot that space invaders was released in 1978 and that the first table version followed in late 78.
