Yes! The marquee looks far better displayed on your cabinet than stored in my drawer  ;)
Great job!  :)

cool to see those rusty apb and gauntlet parts from "you know where" being put to use - either you are a clairvoyant or it was simply pure luck that you decided to grab exactly those parts from "you know where"!

btw, i'm no fan of the galaga 88 art at all, it looks like a child designed / drew this (or i did :P). for me this is one mof the ugliest artworks out there, especially when compared to the fabulous pac-mania stuff which rests in the same cabinet, but that's not your fault ;). nevertheless, you've done a great job so far bringing this baby back to life!

oh, the galaga 88 pcb on the british forum has been sold to someone else :'(

I wonder how much time it took the guy to fix those holes ? 10 euro is nothing to save yourself the headache of fixing it yourself (can be done but a lot of work !)

I like Galaga '88 better than Galaga. Great work !

Glass company huh ? Were you the guy who did the non-glare pinball glass sheets ??

My dream would be finding non-glare tinted glass bezels for some videogames...... ;)

I like the artwork, the game anyway. There are of course cabs with much better artworks, but galaga88 is not ugly. my opinion. :wink:

glad that you kept it - it was too rusty for me and a saw no use in taking it. but obviously you already knew it would come in handy one day - and it did!!! please keep the rest of the parts, i might need them for my apb resto in 2024! :P

probably not arrested, but who knows how far that information would travel, i'd rather keep it disclosed for now. i wonder what toralf is thinking though ...

It is difficult ... The trip was great, indeed the best (arcade)-trip of my life. but unfortunately not exactly legal. and despite the attempt to interview the owner, we had no official permission to be there. I don´t know if we can post here publicly ... :-\
