Several titles from Midway were released in similar cabinets.

Midway Cabinet Comparison

Whether production was easier, more accurate or speedier, Midway used the same upright cabinet for several titles. Add to the mix several hundred conversions (factory or other) and trying to restore one of these classics is a bit of a guessing game.

Hindsight History Lesson

I have tried to restore Galaga, Galaxian, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Rally-X. These 5 titles shared many design aspects in their upright cabinets.
