Werid Galaga cocktail on rollers?
garnerb350:
At the place I work at, I found this in the Recreation Department...No body uses it except for stacking mess on it....Its a Galaga cocktail...but its werid looking...Ive never seen this...You know how most cocktails sit on the floor....This one has two table legs with rollers on it... Its been modded for free play ( pushbutton for credits) and I plugged it up and it runs....perfectly...( the monitor from what I can tell is still in good condition, i.e no burn out etc) The speakers are still running...in fact when I found it they place a paper plate over the speaker grill to lower the volume... The control panel overlays are a tab bit worn, but everything is tip top condition...Basiclly all I can tell is that it needs a good cleaning and TLC...Can anyone tell me more about this model/design....What about price range? I might can be able to get it and I would love to try and restore it...

Likely a custom hack by some half-arsed conversion company, or you're referring to the 'UK-style' cocktail design - like this but with wheels?

I'll try to see if I can grab a camera....Depends on how the day is...( sorry Frizzle)
Turn.....Yeap the thing has rollers....
The guy who is in charge of the recreation Department ( when he started) has all this stuff left to him and he cant even find the paperwork saying that they own it...he wants to get rid of it...and he knows about me doing my first cab...I think he will let me take it off his hands....
I drew up a quick rendition of it....I hope this helps....
All my life I have NEVER seen a model like this...I'm even starting to think it is a custom job...
But I do have to warn that I dont know much about the late model arcades....

That's exactly as I showed in that picture on my last post, but with a sticky-out cp. It was commonly found in British arcades when I was a kid - in fact I don't ever remember seeing an 'end-to-end' cocktail in our arcades, but then we never really got the dedicated cabinets for uprights either....
