One of the rgvac members was looking to sell/trade his and fortunately (for me) he lived less than 30 minutes away. Was nice enough to deliver the game and help move it inside my house.

Vinyl siding needed some heavy cleaning but turned out really well. Definitely pleased with the end result...

$200.

The monitor is a WG K7000 with the remote adjustments board, and the chassis has been recapped. Control panel has been refinished and has an Arcaderenovations repro CPO on it.

Congrats! That's a great game to own...and not a bad price I think.

Did you see the one on e-bay some @$$hole is trying to get?

And this is like his third trying to sell this. He can't even get the name right. And it isn't even working properly. Total dumb@$$!

I know. Joey is a great seller/trader (RGVAC id: Joey). He seems to do a lot of fixing up/restoration jobs. Gets tired of the machine, turns around and sells it and puts money back into another one.

He’s got a restored Donkey Kong on eBay here.

Nice looking and tempting but I have a Crazy Kong at the moment and don’t really need another DK. Although mine is in a “low boy” cabinet and I’ve added DK artwork (can’t find Crazy Kong reproducible art).

I made two sets of repro art for Atari Football X’s and O’s control panels and an underlay for the glass (which I traded 1 set along with the $200). His Football cabinet is lacking the bottom base and needs a working board. I think between the both of us we have 6 pcbs and none of them work. One day...

I too have a Galaxian and paid right around what you did and no shipping. :D
Im sure that the person who had the game restored the side art.
By chance does anyone know how to restore Galaxian art? Mine is a little messed up, but it holds.
