Title: Blank Galaxian cocktail control panels
Post by: harry.gloth on August 08, 2017, 05:37:15 pm
I went down to my local metal fab shop, to look into having blank Galaxian cocktail control panels made since there almost impossible to find. People just don't like those style? The depth of the panel makes it difficult to modify from the original swing switch.

There is one known place that has mult versions, 2 button. Waiting to hear back if they have blanks so that the original art could be used and modified to fit a joystick in case the swing switches are missing...

They want 38 dollars per panel, 35 if I do 10 or more.

Thats with no paint no powder coat, only the mount holes will be predrilled...

Does that seem high?

How could it be that you could buy Ms Pacman style for 38 already powder coated? Are those made in China??

Curious on thoughts? would anybody pay that if I order them, is there anybody looking for them, should I just buy 2 and save my breath, lol.

I repaired mine for a project I'm doing but it bugs me abit that there is just no Galaxian love out there....

well guess that sums up interest lol, if anybody's ever looking for you i can have a set made  for 35 a piece, its steep, but nobody had any blanks, and I tried fixing my old ones but it just didn't go over well....

here's what the repo blanks look like (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170822/63954708de01fa0fc58a1f2d8515f291.jpg)

if had like a couple dozen done it would drop the price considerably.

but at 35 a piece + shipping i doubt anybody will want just 2....

hey if you do thou! lol

I actually have an old Galaxian cocktail table I am trying to make into a multicade, but these panels are impossible to find complete or even blank.  I'm definitely interested in 2 of these if possible.  Let me know when you get a chance.  Thanks so much!

I have two original and populated cocktail Galaxian control panels.

I had been thinking of converting a Rally X cocktail cab I parted out to Galaxian since I have the game PC.

I'd have to check if they fit. If not I have an Arkanoid R.O.D. cocktail table. (But since I also have extra Pac- man cocktail control panels I may go that route instead).

I'm going to want some Galaxian cocktail panels soon - is there an source I can just order from or do I need to go down the repro route?
