A few others pointed these out back on page 1. If I felt like my restore job
turned out bad I could always do this, but I'd have to get new glass too.
May still do it, just not a priority right now, given the other cab projects
I'm starting.
Also something odd I just noticed... the new underlay is missing a few
of the logos fro Midway, Namco, and Bally.
And I've never gotten 100% on the bonus, so I have no idea how
to do the Galaga dance. Yeah, I suck. At least now I have
incentive to practice!

Everyone should have the joy of hearing the "Perfect!" music. The first bonus is easy, especially with double ships and your fast shot. Stay in the center and just keep firing. You may have to adjust a tiny bit to the left or right, but pretty much all the ships cross the very center of the screen.

Don't worry Vid, we'll get you dancing soon.
You can get the PERFECT bonus this way with even just one ship, if you are in the right spot. Use the score at top to line yourself up and refine your technique.
With 2 ships (I always have two at the first bonus screen) line up your right-hand shot with the left side of the second numeral from the right (ie, the 'tens' for those mathematicians out there). Then them bugs will be dropping like, well, flies ..... :laugh2:

I've just attached a PDF with logos for Bally, Midway, Capcom, Williams and SNK. :woot

Wow.. that is some good old fashioned 'make it work' restoration. My galaxian cocktail is suffering from lack of CPU, attack of the Trivia Whiz, and the fun game of 'let's put scratchy stuff on the plex-i-glass..
Have you shown it to the neighbor yet? I'll bet masonry was defecated.
