Ok.. I know you all have better things to do then answer this question but
here it is anyway.
I picked up this midway (galaxian) cabinet this weekend with a jamma harness
in it. Has a really nice coin door with mechs and a box, and other internals
like speaker, some wiring, etc and the cabinet itself is in great structural
shape except it's painted black.
I started removing the black paint but before i go to far.. was wondering
what would be best to do with the cabinet.
i was thinking to get the galaxian artwork reprinted and restore it as that,
maybe with a multi jamma board in it. strip it down to the wood and
ressurect it as a multi pac cabinet repainted as a pacman or something...
maybe a galaga cabinet with some inkjet artwork (i actually have a place
that does this very good quality solvent based printing that i've used on my
mini cabinets.)..
or.. whatever. i'd be interested in seeing what people would do with
something like this. keeping in mind that money isn't falling off the trees
in my backyard. so I guess the most economical, smart money well spent type
thing.
if you're still reading this.. feel free to chime in with your ideas and
reasons.
and.. anyone have an unpopulated pac, rally x, galaxian control panel they
could let go really cheap? i don't care if it needs to be stripped to the
metal and bathed in naval jelly. low budget is the name of the game this
month. i might just build a wood CP for it. shouldn't be too tough.
