where did you order the enhancement kit from? I've only seen it on Mike's, but it says to contact them...just assumed that meant it was OOS.

Arcadeshop has them. They just are not listed for whatever reason. Give em a call

That artwork looks really nice. I need to just break down and buy some for my Galaga too. Can't wait to see how the machine turns out!!

Thanks! I'm headed out in a bit to test the power supply and get the marquee and panel installed. Also going to install the new starter, light and coindoor lights.


Still waiting on My arcadeshop order
 
Thanks for posting more pics. There is something about a brand new minty Galaga CPO looks phenomenal. Those are some nice games you got in there too!
 
thinking of just putting a AS switcher kit in here. As the cost of the rebuild parts is about the same. With that crazy dangling cap mod and having repaired the damaged fuse holder I am still only getting around 4.5 volts with the adjustment cranked. pulling that cap mod I only get 2.5volts
 
Got the rear legs installed today. I thought it was odd the rear mounts were perfectly fine. Somebody actually just unscrewed the legs and removed them.

Tore down the coin door and hit the rust spots, polished up the coin drops and return buttons. Will paint tomorrow with appliance epoxy.

The before pic.

Well starting to look a bit better. Painted when it was a bit too cold so I just hit the front of the door for now. lol actually scratched it up in the car so it looks used already. I may sand a bit and give it another coat this summer.

Put her in the Storagecade lineup. I still need to remove the old kick art and install the new one and do the t-molding and kickplate. No big hurry installing those. What do you guys suggest for removing the kickart? Its not pealing well. HF heated decal remover? I'll have to buy another I broke mine.

Put on the kickplate art and Kickplate yesterday. Came out good after a few hairy alignment moments.
