1970 Indy 500 [F-type] - インディ500 F型 by 関西精機 (Kansai Seiki)

Name: Indy 500 [F-type] - インディ500 F型
Year: 1970
Company: 関西精機 (Kansai Seiki)

Indisputably one of the coolest cabinet ever made at the time, the F-Type Indy 500 made a huge splash at Expo '70 and began the era of deluxe immersive driving cabinets.  (note: I could be wrong, but I think this is fair.  If you know of an early cabinet in this style please let me know)

Indy 500 was first released in 1969 with the M-Type cabinet.  The W-type and F-type cabinets came out in 1970 and continued to be sold for a number of years.

The Kasco brand was alive an well back then, but for some reason I do not see any "Kasco" markings on this or any other Indy 500 cabinets.
