dont rush, the benchmark is one year! so anything sooner than that will be fine (",). of course if you leave it too long you tend to forget (just ask ascar9 and cheffojeffo  ;) )

dannygalaga, where do you live.  I have in my possession (pretty sure) the mirror from that exact space invaders machine.  The machine was banged up and stripped out before I got it so I mame'd it (just replace the CP) everything else is original on the outside.  Anyways, I live in Panama City, FL and have that piece of glass but not sure how well it would make it shipping it.

thanks for the offer, but i dont think it would be worth shipping to australia! tell me, is it just a mirror? or is there art printed on it? i have no idea what the insides of a SI looks like.

Hey -- if I set the bar too high then others won't want to play ...  :dizzy:

Cheers.

Australia may be a little far.  It is a mirror with nothing printed on it but it is not a standard mirror.  It is more like a piece of glass that has a reflective film on it.  The monitor is mounted pointing up into the mirror which reflects into your eye.  Behind the mirror is a semicircle "moon" type piece of plastic that is lit with a bulb.  This moon can be seen through the mirror itself which makes it look like the invaders have a moon in the picture but in actuality the moon is behind the mirror.

Does that make sense?  Monitor has just the essentials, the moon piece is lit up behind the mirror and shows through.  The two images combine (monitor and moon behind monitor)  this is why it is not a regular mirror.
