Figured I'd start off, with my Galaga scores as Galaga in all of it's incarnations are probably my favorite games of all time. Digdug is a close second, but Galaga has always been my first love.  Unfortunately, I'm at work, so, I'll post pictures later today.

Galaga 88: 120510 <=== Most recent.
Galaga: 320430 <=== Most recent.

Thanks John!
Ok guys, lets get this party started! Make sure to post pics!

ha!

I want to do a high-score contest soon with prizes... stay tuned.

Hi score = most games fixed or what? Fastest time to cap a G07 chassis?

For games, silly rabbit.

That's what I figured. And seeing as I'd probably spend $40 transporting each one in fuel, it's not worth it.  Got an original Glaxian for $75 today, no PCB, and in rough shape...  But, I'm stoked to get to work on that bad mama.

Also, just so everyone here knows, Bob's computers crapped out and he's been down for a few days.  Also, when you send him emails, make sure you are sending from a real email address and not some hotmail or gmail garbage as those are generally flagged as spam by most mail servers.

Depending on who I talk to about this game, it's either desirable or the scourge of the Earth. I'm contemplating buying a pair of them (should be able to combine the two and make a single really nice working one) for $225. I think the price might be a bit high, since I'd have to make two trips to get them both, etc etc.  Any thoughts?

BTW, this purchase would be for a complete restore/resell project, I have no interest in owning this game.

Just snagged an original Galaxian cab, great tube, no board.  Anyone have some PCB goodness kickin' around? I'd rather not go to eBay.

Got a new day job where I sit at a computer all day with open internet! So, I'll be lurking 8AM-430PM EST M-F.

Thanks John!

Hey John,
We've been talking about a new forum section in the General Discussion board, here's the link to that topic:

Nice! This is gonna be fun! 

I may or may not be the only one on here that this has happened to, but I would not recommend firing up the monitor if you know there is a crack in the tube.  There is a small chance, but they can explode. It is VERY dangerous to work on tube monitors if you don't know what you're doing.  I don't want to come across as a dick, but I don't want to hear about people getting hurt.  Make sure you read up a ton on safety before you start messing with a tube.

The yolk?

Hey everyone!

I thought it might be fun to have a high score/strategy section.  Where people can talk different game strategies, i.e. wait until level 2 to get your twoship in Galaga, or do it on level 1, or how to bunch up the ghosts in Pacman, etc.  High scores I thought would be self explanitory.  Post pictures!

I take it no one cool won this...

So... your voltages are too low.  Rebuild/replace your power supply.  You should be getting 5.2 to 5.4 on the board... Check your molexes and cables for crimps or frays too...
