My "Gallag" / Galaga resto-mod.

Well, this is the beginnings of a new long-term project. Welcome to my restoration / upgrade / rebuild of what I believe to be an original 1980's "Gallag" game cabinet. And, yes, that's what I meant. Gallag, not Galaga, an early 1980's bootleg of the original game.  Just as playable, with it's own advantages, and a local find at just $40.  Can't turn THAT down.

Current in the middle of re-organizing these pages into a better format. Originally I just kept tacking stuff on as I did it, but I am moving it to a more "topical" format.
