You could try the newsgroup rec.games.video.arcade.collecting there are very helpful people ther with a lot of knowledge of these games. Maybe someone there knows a easy fix for the problem.
I think a lot of us can relate to your problem. I have a Galaxian cabinet. It had no monitor or pcb. I also have thought of restoring it. But I choose to make it a mame cabinet for now. But in the long run there is a big chance I will change it back to a Galaxian someday. (If I can convince my girlfriend that we need another onde ;-) ) I am planning to get the missing parts after i have finished the cab.

: I recently purchased a semi-working Elevator Action Upright. (At goodwill, for $55) The games problem...
: Seems to function normally until you start the game.
: Right after "Otto" slides down the rope, he and the bad guys all "double up". And there is some other eradic action, but he is able to shoot, jump and move. Wondering if this might be a monitor or board problem? And easily fixable?
: My Problem... Should I gut it out and make a Mame cabinet or try to restore/fix it. I don't know how rare this game is. I really want a Mame cabinet :)
: I can't make up my mind.
: Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
