Fill out the coin door and put on new t-molding, if the bottom isn't all flakey it's a great example of a survivor! I wouldn't touch the art!

Your "Before" picture of your Galaxian looks better than my "After". I would say just leave it alone and enjoy it!
I'll agree with others, do all the detailed stuff, and it will make that cabinet look wonderful. It's a great example of a survivor. Love to see more pictures of the inside, and cabinet bottom, the art work. If there is no repro from art, maybe consider scanning it for the people with really really bad cabinets. Congrats on the nice find you have there
That is a nice survivor.
I have a Galaxian with the 25" Electrohome G02 monitor. Sadly, it was not stored correctly.... it was in a metal 2 door garage with no doors on it and a hole in the roof. It was in those conditions for 10+ years, with drifting snow in the winter, rain, etc.... I picked up 11-12 games in that lot, one was disintegrating on site, and I parted it out right on the spot. I then subsequently parted two of them due to widespread minor swelling in the cabs. Most of the remainder will be fixed.
The Galaxian's artwork sadly didn't survive cleaning. 75% or more of the black on the artwork came off. I'll probably put it between 2 other games once I get it up and running, but someday I'll probably cosmetically restore it with replacement art. I wish the art had survived... especially since this is a 25" monitor version.
Here are some more pics of the machine. The inside is still very dirty. Not sure how to clean it properly. Maybe some tips?
Thanks!

I usually start with diluted simple green to get off surface dirt.. it does a pretty good job of calming down any funky smells also.
If you are lucky allot of the dirt and gunk will come off with that.
I planned on doing that with the wood parts of the inside. But the electronics, specifically the transformers, I'm a little hesitant to use simple green on them. I didn't really want to gut the machine to clean, because I know I'll have to wait for everything to dry and I really don't have patients for that. LOL I'll want to play the game wayyyyyy before they dry.![]()
