They seem to have gotten a lot more rare than they used to.

(200-250)€ is a decent price for that one.

Hi Guys, yesterday a had a easy 55 km drive to pick up this Galaxian. The guy who owned it is more into pinball and has a nice game room. So after arriving at the location we first played some pins including some rare ones like Cobra and U212 or something like that. I already checkout the game last time so I new it was dirty but in a good shape, no wood work to be done, just really dirty from dust and nicotine. He also had some 20+ pcb's piled up. I asked what he wanted to do with those and he told me that he was hoping that I would take them with me  ;D Hell yeah I just invested in some new repair gadgets so any unknown type unknown condition pcb is welcome.

I should have made more pictures but I'm new to the road trip thing  ;D Like most of you I have by now a storage problem so I drove another 100km to The Hague to store this game and then an other 90 km back to my place.

Rest me to say that at first inspection I at least have seen one problem with the pcb. Take a close look at the picture of the pcb.

Great game, congrats, welcome to the club of the Galaga, Galaxian owners. ;D ;D ;D
Was the price reasonable for this one?
Some pics from the 20 pcb would be great, maybe we recognize some gems among them. :D

cool pickup of a cool game. i agree with andré (again): those machines are getting rarer and rarer. a few years ago, you saw quite a few of them popping up on various sites, now they've become somewhat scarce! which i'd have got one when they were still growing on trees ... :P

Restoration will have to wait. I should not have bought it due to lack off space right now :lol: BUT I DiD ANYWAY  :twisted: 

Seriously  I first want to finish some project before starting a new one, gameroom, some pins and several pcb's have prio.

Where is the serialnumber located? I will try to check it when in The Hague

Top left side on the back, just above the back door.
If you're lucky there's also a small cardboard card stapled on the left inner side of the cab....
