I’m now the proud owner of a Midway Galaga cocktail table. Current TODO:
- Research hardware (joysticks, replacement grills)
- Mount LCD and Dell SX270 inside cabinet
- Get a bump key so I can open the damn door
Please Insert Quarter

A CTS student worker purchased a change machine from a copier and ripped the door to shred to gain access to the internals. We have a key in case there’s a problem with one of the ones in the Library.
I don’t know how standardized they are, but you want to ask Shawn Budro, he used to have a bunch of arcade machines… I might even try calling Funspot for help getting in.
I’m a little disappointed you’re modding it. Galaga, come on dude, Galaga.
Galaga.

I think the guts still work. The display is shot, though. I’m open to keeping the internals hooked up in some fashion if there’s room for old hardware with the new.
