Well I picked up a poor poor Galaga this past Tues.. Poor thing has seen better days, and will see them again.

Didn't work when I picked it up, but turned out to be just a problem with the edge connector. Other problem was the G07 needed work. But I managed to get that fixed this week.. So everything is looking good. a quick 24 hour burn in and everything is still running..

I would post pictures, but I don't want to make anyone sick.. The amount of mold in the bottom of the cab is horrible.. Why would anyone leave a game out in the rain for months?

But the price was right, and the parts are all good even if the cab isn't. So I'll be building a cab for it, and will post pictures when I do..

Love this game.. -1 on the list to acquire.
 
Part of enjoying and appreciating what you are about to do (restoration work) is seeing the before pics, even if they are bad. We like pics, no matter what.

Before I opened this I thought you got the $200 Galaga mini that was on CL last night and today. Your Pac and Stargate look awesome on CL btw. :)
 
No I didn't get the Galaga Mini Pat got it.. It's in rather good shape though. I like the full size games, but the minis are easier to move..

Ok camera is charged, so I'm going to go take some pics.

I also picked up an Atari Force Liberators, and Berserk.

Pics incoming in a min..

Yep, that's a Galaga for ya, mine looks exactly like that...separated at the base and swollen up like a ski slope. Gotta love it.

Is there a way to fix that? Or do you have to put a new side on it?
