So I picked up a "Galaga" which I eventually figured out is actually a "converted" Midway Space Invaders. I can't even adequately describe how it has been butchered, especially the control panels...
I'm contemplating resurrecting it as a Space Invaders, but I need parts and information. I can get an original SI monitor but it is from an upright... are they the same? I also have no idea how the original monitor was mounted... there was a hacked up non-functional GO7 bolted to the underside of the top when I got it, with the anode ready to zap you when you insert a coin.
The cabinet itself is in good condition, so I really hope I can restore it... but it depends on if I can get the parts. If anyone is interested, I posted what I need in the wanted section: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=249851
Thanks for any tips/comments/suggestions.
