I've always wanted a Galaga cabaret, so when I found an ebay lot of Galaga cabaret parts, everything but the monitor and cabinet, I jumped on it! I figured why not build my own and it would be pretty much new. The lot also included screws, brackets, wiring, speaker, and latches for the cabinet.
The parts arrived and were in nice original 30 year shape. The marquee for example, just needed to be cleaned up, it was damage free.
For the monitor, I had an old Sanyo 13 inch TV sitting around. And for the board, I did get the original boards but did not know if they worked but with no monitor, I could not do much with them. So I decided to use an old Nintendo NES system my brother had sitting around. The NES Galaga is pretty close to the original, so it seemed like it would work perfectly.
It feels good to bring back one from the dead and was parted, back to most of its original glory.
So anyway, I'll use this thread to show my progress.
Here goes!
EDIT: The cabinet was hand bult by me and dimensions from members here. I'll announce who they are once the project is done!
First pic of white wood and a few parts loosly installed. Second pic is the monitor mostly installed.
