Simple dilemma, after dealing more with the arcade op I mentioned a while back, I discovered he had a small warehouse full to the brim with cabs, what stood out were what he called "2 space invade projects"

The first is an original midway SI: its complete with "a new monitor" (cant verify but its burn free so oh well), boots but just throws up garbage

The second is a SI Deluxe cab: complete minus the moon backdrop image also with a "new monitor", all it does is reboot

each are $150 and the cabs are in great shape with all the art looking good and whatnot, which one would be the easier fix ideally?
 
They seem about comparable.

I would lean towards the original since it isn't missing anything.

Neither one is going to have a "new monitor". Pretty sure those monitors have been out of production for 20 years.
 
I like the looks of the original cabinet better, even though I own both. I would just get the multi-kit and have both in one cabinet
 
On the techie side get the deluxe that you can use for more games with the muti kit. I agree with the previous posts though I like the regular si cab better.

Worst case scenerio just swap the daughterboard to a dlx thats all thats different.
 
yea i figured about the monitors hence the "" lol, also what'll make up the bulk of this purchace is which is easier to fix, even if I'm kinda leaning toward the original SI :D

and I was already planning to pick up this multi kit and I thought it didn't matter which SI you had?

glad to see I'm not the only one who resorts to the coin as a last ditch though!
 
Can be used on both the Midway Space Invaders or Midway Space Invaders Deluxe boardset
Works great.
Also has Free Play, High Score Save, powerup Diagnostics, on-screen configuration Settings, and a interactive testmode.

I like the exterior SID cab better, the blacklit moon backdrop of SI better, the more colorful monitor gel of SID better, and the multi kit so you can play both...it's a toss up
