I realize Galaxian can be run off of DC either through mods, JAMMA adapter with the DC cranked a little, etc. However, are the two large, missing capacitors still required? I am referring to the two caps next to the heatsink. I literally just replaced these on a Galaxian PCB, since they had started leaking.

Likely tested on a test rig with a switcher. I'm pretty sure that wouldnt work in a dedicated game without those caps. I would also guess it could be a stock photo and not the exact board you'd be getting.
 
No question it wouldn't work in a stock cabinet, but the feeding it with a DC switcher is the part I am not sure about.
