I picked up this Galaga at Greg & Pauls Fresno sale back in August of last year. It worked, but the coin door was toast, and the front of the cab had a chunk missing from an attempt to rip the lock bar off. I replaced the coin door with a straight one and played it for a few months, thinking I would replace the cpo and do some touch up paint here and there...
A couple of months ago, I started having board issues, so I thought that would be a good time to do my "mini-restore". I started tearing apart the cab, the whole time thinking that even though the sides will be hidden when the cab is in a row in my gameroom, I'll know that their not perfect. So, I now have a complete art package from Phoenix Arcade to install, which means I'll be restoring the whole cab...
Here's a few pics of the cab when I first picked it up, and where it is now. I still have to scrape off the sideart from 1 side, and repair the damage to the coin door area, then I can begin painting.
