Most of the innards, yes. The monitors are frequently a touch smaller
for a cocktail.
Of course, we are talking about a Galaga cab too.
Galaga machines always
seem to bring a premium price, and cocktail cabs would go even higher. I
don't think I've ever even seen a Galaga cocktail...
The strangest thing about it was the left-right controls were levers
with about a 30-45 degree arc of swing, not a joystick knob like
the uprights.
I'm sure the rest of the stuff in the box was pretty stock.
