I saw an original Galaxian cab on the CURB in the RAIN!!

I have a confession. I was into cabinets about 4 years ago, built one(out of a double dragon cab), got sick of it and ditched it in an alley. I didn't even take the controls, I just got sick of it because I was moving. I still think about it, boy that was stupid.

Amen.

The only reason I didn't grab it was that we were on our way somewhere and my mother-in-law and daughter (7 months) were also in the car with us.  I had a stroller and an exer-saucer in the trunk so there was literally no room for anything else.  When we drove by about 5 hours later on our way home the cab was gone so I guess someone grabbed it...

wow that sucks!

When my wife agreed to buy one house which was too small.  I put up my sit down driving cab up as a freebee on the B/S/T forum and it was gone that night.

Then she decided the house wasn't big enough... and we bought another house that has plenty of room for the cab.... and.... I miss my cab... sigh...

If you are looking for cabinets in SW Ontario, check the Coin-Op forum at CGCC. Stuff comes up all the time (mostly in London, it appears).

If you are looking for boards or used parts, you can try Mike at RetroCoin.

His website is still in that terrible Under Construction mode (but his contact info is there), but I met him today at one of his storage lockers and walked away with an Arkanoid board (which is what I went for), a Galaxian board (untested), a RoadBlasters CP and some Midway flight-yoke-looking thing that we couldn't identify (was for a car game, though ... will have to post a picture for Paige).

He wouldn't sell me his working SW board, though ... that's going to eBay ... guess I should have offered more than C$50 ...

Cheers.

I'm thinking Spyhunter, probably.
