Gaplus restoration artwork

What cab did you pick up? I'm looking for one myself....

A gentleman on craigslist about six or so months back was, at the behest of his wife, parting ways with a Galaga cabinet that had been multicaded. The 60-in-1 was not included, but: it was complete and came with a Galaga to JAMMA adapter, a non-swiss-cheesed control panel, and a G07. For $250, I was not going to complain. It needs some body work before it gets converted, but it'll make a fine Gaplus when it's done. Keep an eye out for "well-loved" Galagas and Ms. Pacs; they aren't the most common around my parts, but, I would imagine in Cali they've got to be much more abundant than here. Worst case scenario, bdn103's got the plans for a Galaga/Ms.Pac on his website; you can always cut one yourself from plywood (a hell of a lot better than what all the others out there are made of) if you prefer something in excellent shape. If you've got a local makerspace that has a CNC router, you may even be able to get someone to cut one for you.

Got it. So any old Pac or Ms Pac cab will work... That's good to know.

Thanks for the info.
 
That's funny, I want to convert my Gaplus cabinet to Galaga. The overall shape is the same, but the construction is very different.
 
As a owner of Gaplus, 2 galaga cabinets, 3 mspac cabinets, and 2 pacman cabinets.

so 8 midway cabs...

They are similar but NOT the same.

Gaplus is its own cab, it shares the same profiling as galaga and mspac, but it is different.

and my gaplus and galaga cabs are numbered between 200 and 550ish.

So early production cabs, at that.

From what i can tell early mspacs and pacs had plywood tops and bottoms. But later had particle... And the particle fails easily with water...

Don't plzzz. If im not mistaken you maybe able to run both in a gaplus. Plus the gaplus art is soo much better

Unconverted gaplus are more rare... Tons were converted.

It wouldn't be a complete loss though. What I have are the sides and some of the top and back pieces. It had fallen off an operator's truck and basically exploded. The monitor was lost as was the bezel. The flipper I got it from was selling the guts as a Gaplus kit and had started burning the cabinet pieces. So anything "arcade" related I do with this will give it new life. I plan on using a Galaga bootleg board so "authentic" Galaga isn't my goal as much as having a passable clone.

That's not going to happen

He's talking about rich from this old game.

They have months wait time on regular items.

And they also have a priority list of customers.

So glad you know my schedule and customer priority list
