I was lucky enough on Saturday to pick up Galaga #9177 from a woman north of Baltimore who had the game since 1995. The game overall is in good solid condition with just a few minor cosmetic defects on the outside. The inside has been untouched. I will probably just fill in the two holes for the security bar on the front and replace the CPO.
I bought the game for $150 but it has the following problem as you can see in the picture. The left side of the screen is normal but the right side of the screen is distorted downward, kind of like a fold over. The ship will appear at the upper right hand part of the screen. She told me that it started to do this the last time that she moved it.
Any idea on what is causing this? Should I just have it recapped or is it a board issue?
After 31 years of wanting one I finally own a Galaga.

And the screen issue:

She also has a nice looking Asteroids that plays blind and a Vanguard that needs the flyback put back on. She said she would sell both really cheap just to get them out of her basement.
