Galaxian Restoration (Galaga/Galaxian switchable)
Spyridon:
Definitely go with Galaxian. People have done nice conversions of Galaxian to Galaga, but the purists will notice the difference in cabinet shape. Since you have everything to convert it back go with Galaxian. If you can get both boards working, add in two Jamma adaptors and you can use the Jamma switcher that came with it.

The ROM chips have a Galaga sticker on them...?
Edit: OK, after a bit of googling, I see that the Gallag PCB has a daughter-card, and so does mine. So it appears I have a Gallag board. Still may be worth it to install both boards in this cab, though.

That and Galaga board sets consist of 2 boards of equal size. They're essentially the same game, the only difference you'd see is the title screen (assuming it has the factory rom set ((if they say galaga i'd assume it doesn't)) would say "GALLAG" instead of "GALAGA" and "1 9 8 2" instead if the Midway or Namco copyright logos. You might want to check KLOV if you want screen schots of the differences...
If you could repair it, I would definitely do a dual board (Galaga/Galaxian) type thing. Just remember that Gallag ISN'T JAMMA and Galaga ISN'T the same pinout as Gallag. There are sites out there that say they are, they are flat out WRONG. I used a JAMMA adapter when my Gallag worked. I suggest you do the same if you want the dual board set up. Actually, to use that dual board thing you have, you'll need JAMMA adapters for both.

Just kidding... :P it's 18655 according to the stamp on the wood next to the PCB.
