Trivia

There is no manufacturer information anywhere on the cabinet (marquee, artwork, bezel, cabinet, or boardset). The only information to go by is the foil sticker on the back by "Ace Vending Corp" and it is stamped "Star Fighter."

Cabinet Information

The cabinet looks like a standard Bally/Midway Galaxian cabinet. However, the marquee area is shorter. The side art looks similar to that of Moon Cresta.

The control panel on some cabinets say "Potomac Computer Games Division" in the corner.

Technical

The board is a two PCB set connected by two separate ribbon cables. There is a daughter board on each side connected together by wires. No manufacturer labels appear anywhere on the boardset. The screened parts lead one to believe that the boardset could be populated in order to run out of an actual Galaxian cabinet. The power supply is not standard, but looks like a switching power supply with some large caps hacked onto it. The monitor is Japanese (manufacturer?).
