No. From my understanding that Space Invaders machines had a monitor that reflected off the glass and probably wouldn't bee reusable for MAME purposes. The cabinet itself is not worth $100. If you were going to do a rebuild maybe, but I am no expert on that. Just know its not mameworthy unless Miami has nothing else you can get.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

From the pics, it looks to be in good shape. I'd give that for it. (For a restoration, not MAME)

You have to make the decision if you want to mount a monitor to reflect into the mirror or just remove the mirror and mount your monitor "straight on". If you reflect into the mirror, you will have to flip your image to look proper and not all emulators will do this and it will use more CPU to do it but the effect can be very cool if you get it right. And IMO SI isn't really worth the $ to restore, I'd haggle that price...

I'd buy it for a resto, especially if I had a crappy SI I could just move all the internals over from. That cab is pretty minty looking, shame to see it MAMEd

If you are looking for a cab to just mame I would pass for restore then yes.

There are cabs to be had if you look around expand your craigslist search some.
