Great work Bruno !!!!
I'm so glad I found all your info about this, since I recently bought a Galaxian as well ! My serial number is 0815 !!!!
I saw you have 16.. what are the other serial numbers ?
My cab is SO old it still had the ORIGINAL black-leathered T-molding. First I thought this wasn't original, because I've always seen the famous green t-molding. But it IS original. Check out the Midway flyers of Galaxian.....that's the proof. That plus the fact that the T-molding on my cab was also nailed down exactly like yours.
About the marquee lighting: the Galaxion operations- and parts manual states that from serial nr. 3000 the bulb were used instead of the TL lighting. Mine has TL as well.
Lot of difference in current use ! (don't know how much watt the bulbs are)
My side art and kick plate look pretty good. I just painted the inside with a new layer of black.
I also have a WG K4500. There is burn-in, but it doesn't show while playing. However, there's bad convergence problems.....I've ordered a cap-kit and will try that first. If I can't fix it, I will take a TV like you did !
I don't know how to say this, but you made a little mistake while re-assembling the joystick: The dust-washer should go UNDER the Control Panel Overlay.....yikes !
To make up a bit: You can get a brand new Midway Coin door plate from
http://www.arcadeshop.com/parts.htmLook for Midway Coin Door Logo Part #2 (Gold)
Here's a picture:

Please have a look at :

Thanks !
P.S. Which size in cm's were those TV's ?
