WTB : Galaxian cab
« on: March 30, 2015, 11:53:57 PM »
Hi guys,

I'm a newbie here so maybe I should go for a little explanation.
I have been living abroad in Africa & Asia for quite some years for work.
Now I have managed to get back to France and since I've more or less settled in Paris suburbs for a few years I had mind to start collecting good old 80's arcade machines like the ones I was playing when I was a kid.

I know it may seem preposterous to some of you guys who have been collecting cabs and posting on this forum for years (since I still really have not much space, I can only currently accomodate for one cab) but I wanted to know if anyone here was willing to part with an original Galaxian cab, be it a Midway, a Bertolino or the famed Namco one (I may be dreaming a little bit too much here...). I would pay a fair price and I can assure you it would be well cared for.  :)

I understand Galaxians do not come too often on auction sites etc... especially in Europe.  ???
So I was willing to try my luck with you guys.

Not sure, but I might sell my Bertolino Galaxian, have to repair the pcb first.

No problemo! I've waited 25+ years already.
Now that I have a little space and some spare time for it, a few days/weeks won't kill me!  ;D

If anyone needs a good home for a Galaxian-then I'm up for it.
For me, it's the ultimate cabinet in terms of side art.

Yes, I know it's not the best cab for multi-game..but I just love the look.

Mmm, I remember some people commenting on my asking price for my Galaxian. ;D

These have become pretty rare actually. Not that there are so few cabs left...but usually collectors don't seem to want to let them go.
