    I went with a galaga for my 60 in 1. I mean they had to make a gazillion of these things. I have $300-400 total in this one with new decals, boards, used monitor etc.... Looks good and it was cheap

    Quoted from dmbjunky:

    That's not an original Galaga though is it? It looks like a reissue.
    I'm not making a 60 in one. Just a conversation game that never came with a cabinet.

    The boards in it were midway and said 1981 on them. I have no idea about any of that stuff though. I thought it was an original.

    That style cabinet is classic. Galaga and pacman. They were the same cab.

    That looks like an original... Mine is an original, looks the same, except looks like yours has new; not torn or faded art

    I replaced all the decals with new ones. I just bought the cheap ones off of eBay. They were pretty rough on the original. Also added a midway pinball coindoor (notice the button in the middle) since the original had been pried off lol.

    I did not know that. I've not seen a lot of original pacman. Mostly Ms.

    Quoted from Starwriter:

    Why limit yourself to 30 year old cabinets?

    I think I see room for at least two more speakers lol
