Sure is strange looking -- it still has the original Galaxian Marquee:

It's a steal at only $1750! ;)

Not trying to be price police...

Seriously CL needs to add a rotate image button.
 
I'd imagine it would be tough to not hit your forearm on the sides of the cabinet when using that trackball. Most tb games have the tb mounted further out.
 
Why would anyone do that? I cannot not imagine at any point in timw were a Taito golf game would make more money than a Ms. Pac!

So what did you end up doing to the cab?
 
cab

All the galagas I kept finding had puffy cabs so I used this plywood Ms Pac cab. I started as a Ms pac then was converted to something else. Then it was converted to big Event golf. I think it looks good as a Galaga.

Looks Great!

No reason to not convert to a Galaga, same shape! A lot easier to paint too :)

I have got to find a NOS galaga CP overlay! I can see those repos a mile away. DAMN you 2-bit and your crap licensed repos! I think I might just have to make my own if I can't find a NOS. But I really want NOS.
 
Re:

That Galaga looks nice, so are there any major differences between the two cabs, besides them being made out of different materials?
 
Differances

The coin door is a little higher on Galaga because of the art work. The monitor angle is a little different. The coin box is also mounted differently. All the differences are subtle but when you have a Ms. Pac and a Galaga side by side, you can tell the differance.
 
That Guy posted some new auctions on CL
