Pardon about the drama then. It's too bad that there were suspicions at the time although I can understand why with specific items. What was not available then [2014] was some form of proof that time if believable or not, but the September 2017 https://www.flyerfever.com/post/164966832988/galaxian
update from FlyerFever finally provided actual proof with the Irem flyer showing a PT - Galaxian [ie: cocktail table variety described as Play Table] as a product. It's too bad the flyer wasn't around a few years earlier for reference.

iirc there used to be a hardcore Galaxian fan [I forget the username] that posted here in the past, but I believe he hasn't posted since a few years ago and isn't visiting here these days.
Good luck with seeing the pcb gets a decent price and hope pcb can be fixed by someone later. Other posters here might have better places to recommend for selling pcb besides an auction place. Visit back in a few days later to see if others have places to recommend.
