The Cosmo Cosmos-T25 is a 25-inch Japanese arcade cabinet associated with Cosmo Electronics Corporation (コスモ電子株式会社).
Very little original documentation for the cabinet has presently been located.
The model name is known from surviving cabinet-reference material, but no factory catalogue, operator manual, specification sheet or clearly identified surviving cabinet has yet been recovered which establishes its complete technical specification.
Manufacturer
The cabinet is associated with:
コスモ電子株式会社
or:
Cosmo Electronics Corporation
Cosmo marketed a number of universal arcade cabinets under names including:
- Cosmos
- Cosmos-Queen
- TwinCam
- Ambo
- Animal Series
The Cosmos-T25 appears to belong to the broader Cosmos cabinet family.
Model name
The presently recorded model designation is:
Cosmos-T25
The meaning of the:
T
suffix has not yet been established.
It should not presently be expanded to terms such as Table, Twin, Type or any other interpretation without supporting factory documentation.
Monitor
The model designation indicates a:
25-inch
cabinet.
The original:
- CRT manufacturer
- Tube model
- Monitor chassis
- Supported scan frequencies
- Rotation capability
remain unknown.
Design
No sufficiently clear factory photograph or surviving cabinet image has yet been identified to describe the cabinet's design reliably.
The following therefore remain unconfirmed:
- Cabinet body style
- Control-panel layout
- Wiring standard
- Monitor orientation
- Speaker arrangement
- Cabinet dimensions
- Weight
- Power requirements
Relationship to Cosmos-T26
A related model is recorded as:
The similar naming strongly suggests that the two cabinets belonged to the same Cosmo model family.
The numerical suffixes suggest a distinction based on monitor size, but no primary documentation has yet been located confirming whether the T25 and T26 shared:
- The same cabinet shell
- Control panels
- Wiring
- Power supplies
- Internal hardware
- Monitor chassis
They should therefore be treated as related model names rather than assumed to be otherwise identical.
Relationship to other Cosmos models
Other documented or referenced Cosmo cabinets include:
- Cosmo Cosmos-T26
- Cosmo Cosmos-U26
- Cosmo Cosmos-mini 26
- Cosmo Cosmos Versus 25
- Cosmo Cosmos-Queen 25 A Type
- Cosmo Cosmos-Queen 25 B Type
- Cosmo New Cosmos-? 25
The precise relationship between the Cosmos-T25 and these machines has not yet been established.
In particular, the model prefixes and suffixes used across the Cosmos range should not be interpreted as specific cabinet formats or generations without supporting documentation.
