hi i was wondering who amongst you have an original midway spacies with the glass bezel not the perspex? i know they stop making glass bezels because disgruntled players were punching the glass... anyone offer any more info on how many were made with glass? mine is serial number 8000's

Midway Upright Space Invaders. has tag inside stapled to the side with serial number 8638 - new low? tag also has 'AUSTRALIA' stamped across it. not sure if this cab is number 8638 or number 8638 shipped to australia. to my knowledge not many of these midway machines made it to our shores as...

i had splitting of the wood on one side of the bottom my cab due to someone using a sack truck or a fork to move the machine. i flipped the cab and used plasti bond to fill the hole and to hold it together, used g clamps and some greaseproof paper on some 2x4 worked a treat. sanded it flat not a...

thanks again blinddog. i think i am with you when you prefer the WG chassis. seems to be alot more common and of course wells gardener are still around these days, whereas motorola dont make monitors anymore to my knowledge. appreciate all the help i have received. thanks guys

thanks for that blinddog. just what i needed to hear. im assuming it is an easy matter to replace the yoke. out of all these monitor chassis, the M5000, the 22V1003 and the XM-501, which do you guys find to be the most reliable, or are they much the same?

hi there. im looking for preferably a motorola M5000 chassis, does anyone have one for sale? doesnt have to be working but one in ok condition would be good, so i can make one good one from two perhaps.. it would be for my midway spacies cabinet so i guess a WG 19v1001 would also be fine. thanks...

hey modessitt. thanks for your reply. so the 22v1003 wont work on a 19inch CRT? i just had a look at the motorola and its pretty messy. i dunno if it can be fixed really think its gone to silicon heaven. the flyback has a square rod coming out of it and this is broken in half and the wire to...

hi i have an upright midway space invaders. when i got it the monitor was painting just white, no sprites atall but the game coined up and played as normal. after trying to work out what was wrong by a process of elimination i worked out it was the chassis, which was a motorola m5000 (from...
