Do you love Galaxian so much that you lose sleep over it? Is your vintage cab all ratty and weathered and battle-worn but still sporting its original accessories? I have a lovely cab here that should restore your REM sleep patterns and let you trash that old, musty, antique cab all in one fell swoop. This cabinet, an unfinished project from years back, was CNC-cut out of MDF from a sweet set of plans obtained from a secret source and perfectly assembled by a local cabinet builder. It's heavy and square and straight. No water damage. She has new feet, new artwork and T-molding, a new speaker, a vintage (albeit incorrect) light fixture, vintage coin box, an unpainted new back door just begging for a new sheen and lock, and even a vintage (used) Galaxian marquee. As I recall, it was sprayed with white primer and slicked out before the artwork was applied. I don't remember where the artwork came from but it wasn't wide enough on the left side to accommodate the widest portion of the cab, so there is a seam there where a small piece was patched in to finish it out. Naturally that is also the very spot where a very light impact occurred afterwards that resulted in profuse cursing and requests for death to inflict its fiery sting. See pics.
I never wanted to part with this cabinet because of how well it was built. It's a rock. But 55 years on I'm realizing I like looking at blank concrete more than clutter, so it needs to leave.
I will be keeping the newer tube and rails since I'm sure whoever buys it will commit heresy and slap a flat-panel in it. However, if you want it to stay, throw me another $50. There is no chassis but I think I had planned on using a K7000. I also have a brand-new, correct glass bezel for it from TOG I believe, from way back when their orders were actually produced and shipped. Add another $200 for that if desired. You won't find another one!
$300 cash and it's yours. Must pick up in Brandon, MS. Don't bring a Camry. Venmo and PayPal F&F cheerfully accepted. No holds, no trades, no tire kickers. Dirty fingerprints included at no extra charge.
Thanks for looking!
