Found these pics on Namco Museum 2 with no context aside from what is given. How would this even be played? Pretty bizarre type of cab.

It seriously does. If the pics weren't on an official Namco game I would think it was some crappy homebrew. The marquee says Galaxian TV and then a bunch of Japanese, whatever that means. It appears to play the regular game but again I can't figure out how one would even control it. Bizarre.
 
Probably some type of wallmounted setup with a detached control panel. Either that, or one of those games you control with your mind.
 
PA speaker on top?? Weird! The Japanese full-size Galaxian is really beautiful, artwork is completely different from the licensed Midway version.
 
Looks like an auxiliary monitor that sits on top of machine so people can see it being played.
Galaxian has a pretty flat top for it to sit up there. Not sure what the deal is with the second board.
