First time post, so I'm hoping this is going to the right spot.
I recently bought an arcade cabinet (well, several) from an on-line auction. One of them was Cadash (by Taito), and after I picked it up, I noticed that this game was a conversion tossed into an old cabinet. After some further poking around, I figured out that it was formerly a Galaga cabinet. I would like to restore this back into a Galaga machine, but I'm trying to figure out what the best way to go is as far as replacing the PCB.
Since it is running Cadash, at some point this thing was switched over to JAMMA compatibility. I have previously converted a Gauntlet machine with a dead PCB into a MAME machine, so I'm not certain that I'll end up keeping this (or more correctly, that the wife will let me keep it
). What I really need to know is that, say I end up trying to sell this thing, what is going to be the most desirable? I figure I've got a few options, such as tossing a 60-in-1 in there or one of the 25th anniversary Pacman/Galaga boards. I could even track down an original board and put that in there, but I figure that could end up being a bit more work since it's non-JAMMA (and I don't think the boards are cheap).
I'm just looking for some guidance on what you experts out there think is the most prudent course of action.
Thanks!
