Please Insert Quarter

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

    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.

  2. 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.
