was galaga 88 a kit game, or did it have a dedicated cab? or both?

[tron guy]

ok, seeing the other thread about a $510 marquee, my marquee is now for sale. $90 shipped. monstrous bargain.

BTW the cab #s are model# 50100 and ser# UR00167, so not completely sure what cab it was original.

According to my Atari spreadsheet that I am assembling:

Dragon Spirit - 30100
Galaga '88 - 50500
Pacmania - 50400

But then again, here is a thread from Sav that is almost 4 years old stating he had a Galaga '88 cab with 50100 model number:

And then here is a member who says he has Galaga '88 with model number 50500.

I do show that there were both a dedicated Galaga '88 and a Galaga '88 kit. However, I obviously don't know which model number is which.....

A good 10 years ago I was collecting these cabs.
I looked for a dedicated Splatterhouse for years and finally gave up, I guess its just a kit.

Model: 50500
Serial: GAL0073

IIRC from what I saw on AtariScott's production list ~188 or so dedicated were made... the rest were kits...

WOW. Figured it would be low run, but didn't realize Galaga 88 was that rare.

And it explains why it is easier to get a Japanese boardset!

Well they did make more US conversion kits tho, the 166 count was for the dedis.

Yea the one I have is SAV's old one. And on the other post my Mike I dont have any stickers on it so I would guess from your stickers that "GAL" before the numbers settles it as far as what ones are dedicated. [
