Title: Galaga Cabaret Resto
Post by: windsoreight on October 23, 2017, 10:21:27 AM
It’s been a bit since I restored a game so I figured I’d post some pics. I picked up a decent Galaga Cabaret a week ago and decided to put my spin on it. The cabinet is solid but the vinyl was peeling. So I decided to laminate the cabinet with a thin gloss black vertical grade lamitate. I had some art made for it. Right now I’m just waiting on my CPO from this old game which. I have yet to plug it in and see if it works yet but it should be completed in week or so.

restomods are pretty cool. HFK did an awesome one with a centipede, IIRC.

I finally plugged Galaga in tonight and had one bad rom. So took 5 minutes and it’s up and playing. All finished but I have to restore the control panel and some coin door/marquee bulbs.
