Space Invaders CPO Replacement

Just a shout out to THISOLDGAME.COM for their truly PERFECT silk-screened aluminum Midway Space Invaders CPO.

Mine was in OK shape,  but this new one simply rocks!

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Very nice. 

I am in the process of restoring a Space Invaders cabinet. Once I get it running, I will be ordering one of these for sure!!

Thanks all...

...and what really rocks is that yesterday the UPS man brought my SI sound board back from Alex over at www.ElektronForge.com.  I had sent it in because my Invader Hit sound went "EEEeeeewwwwww!" instead of "Thaaawwwaaaaap!".  I had already replaced the chips recommended for said sound and it still went "Eeeeeewwwww!".  Off to www.elektronforge.com it went.  His charge was very reasonable,  and his work top notch. 

I plugged it back in fired her up and played a game of Space Invaders (it has the multigame kit too).  Sure enough,  I hit an invader and "Thaaawwwaaaaap!"

NICE!

So SI is back to 100% working w/multigame kit...  This is likely one of the if not the best condition cab I have and I recommend www.elektronforge.com for you're SI repair work.

Did you find out why it was making that sound?

That looks very good, on metal to boot.

Does anyone else do printings on metal as well or is ThisOldGame the only game in town that does it?
