My Galaga arcade machine is now operational

[Hector]

Galaga was my all time favorite arcade game back in the 80s.

So I had to have one...lol.

The sound was not working...but a bud of mine who's the king of audio installation...rewired it...and placed a new speaker as well.

All original...and it now works PERFECTLY!!!

Beautiful screen & awesome sounds.

I will take a night picture later...then you'll see the bright colors in all its glory, lol.









It's setup for coins...so it also serves as a piggy bank...lol.

I do have a cover for it...so it's well protected.

I love my baby...I love my baby...I love my baby...

That's pretty cool. I have a Mat Mania arcade game in my sunroom.

Beautiful, Hector!!!

One of the all-time classic arcade games. What a cool machine to own.

That's GREAT Hec !!!!!!

The only thing, leaving it on the porch i'd be afraid it might walk away some night.

It's in pretty sad shape, actually. The cabinet's a generic one that was a conversion, and the person that converted it did a really bad job... they cut the overlay on the playfield and the control panel overlay's in bad shape. The monitor's not that great, either. I just bought it because it was cheap ($200) and one of those games I could play for a long time on a single quarter; I haven't touched it in probably a year, though.

Yeah, Galaga is awesome.

Other ones I love...Tron, Donkey Kong, Centipede, and Defender.

I was never a real big fan of PacMan though.

You are going to need a whole crew...because that thing weighs a ton, lol.

Besides, I have a great alarm system....and I'm getting another dog soon as well...plus it's a great neighborhood...I've been here for almost 20 years...and never had a brake in.

[Hector]

Plus it's also an exercise machine for me...I get to stand up for hours at a time, lol...

Hey Hector, do you keep it outside? Aren't you afraid rain will ruin it or that it will get stolen?

[toys2cool]

What rain?

Not a drop...just look at that roof...it's HUGE and it has shingles (probably useless if I lived in tornado country though, lol)...




Like I said...
