Really, *really* close to being done with the construction part. Heck, even the software part is mostly done. Since this project will (at least at first) just be running games that use similar controls to Galaxian (Galaxian, Galaga, Space Invaders, etc) pretty much all I have to do is shut the other games off. I’ve got a Pac-Man CP that was hacked to shreds. Going to try and patch most of the holes and drag my 4 way down from the attic.

I wish I could have saved the CP artwork, but after much thought I had to tear it off. The CP was just too rusty, and it was ugly. If they made repro Galaxian CP overlays I might consider getting one, but for now the CP mostly matches the theme of the cabinet (black pica vinyl).

One thing I’ve learned from this project is that the makers of the cabinet stapled in the damn T-molding into the cabinet at the ends. Some I was able to rip out, but a lot caused some damage to the cabinet when I tried to remove the old T-molding. Nothing too bad, though. I replaced the green molding with black leather grain.

I had wanted the staining to be darker, but I suppose overall it didn’t turn out too badly. I’ve certainly learned a lot from this project.

Pictures are forthcoming, the batteries on the camera died. They’re on the card, but not enough power to upload them.
