I Picked up this cab in Tuscany with CRASH. First of all I repaired the PCB. Long days with my living room table full of electronic parts…

Sound board

5 April 2014

Sound board has been made by Gremling and came fom a Safari boardset. I don’t know if Safari and Space Attack sound board are really compatible, so I don’t know if I’m playing with the right sounds 🙂

A new Control Panel

5 April 2014

The original control panel was quite damaged. Not in terms of integrity, but in term of graphics. I found a new CP in the US. It is for another kind of cabinet but the 2 position joystick is much more fun… This is the old control panel

And this is the new control panel

The Game

5 April 2014

Substantially the game is the same of Space Invaders but when the player destroys all aliens, a new UFO appears and moves around the screen for a while.
