Ok,

I MIGHT do a PA. If I don't I will give the link to a page where I will upload progress pics.

and I found the picture I was talking about:

Interesting pic.
They look the same to me, although it does look like the Galaga slopes down from the CP to the bottom of the kickplate. But then when you look at it when comparing the same part on the Ms Pac, they are the same.

I am happy with what I have. The pics that is  :laugh2:  :laugh2:  :laugh2:

I have to admit I made the same mistake. Not sure if I linked to the threads here, but a few years ago I argued that the slope of the Galaga kickplate area was correct. Wade and others checked their Galaga cabs and stated that they don't have any slope on their cabs. It just looks like that in the pictures because perspective and the dark upper part around the coin door suggests depth.

coltchillin:
what about the angulation of the cp and monitor?
in this pic it looks like the galaga cp is tilted somewhat more than the ms pac one?
but pics can be deceiving, i know...

patrickl:
Indeed it looks like that. Looks like the Galaga CP is angled up more than the screen too. Doubt in both cases that it actually is different though.

Actually the internals of the Galaga cab are different. IIRC they have some extra cunstruction for mounting the boards in which the ms Pacman doesn't have.

It doesn't make sense to have them rolling out two machines with an almost identical cabinet shape and then make slight differences in the design.
