| Ms. Pacman Cabaret Scratch Build |

| Greenman:
Time to get building again. ;D I have recently acquired an original Midway Ms. Pacman PCB and and also found in the garage a CRT TV that will need a mod to accept SRGB...so the two main items are now in my possession. I can probably fabricate almost everything else so it looks like I can FINALLY make a dedicated arcade cabinet....a MS. Pacman!! This is what a Cabaret Ms. Pacman looks like in the wild (circa 1981): No computer, no raspberry pi, no LED TV. We're going old school. I will document everything here including the CRT TV mod etc. Photos to come. |

Nice looking cabinet! Does is still have all the guts? |
| Greenman:
I wish it was that easy!! All I have is the PCB. I'll be making everything else. Midway Ms. Pacman PCB CRT TV to be modded: |

Make it into a cocktail? There are plans if interested. If your PCB has the voltage regulator, I think i may want up to 7v. Is that a VR chip (3 legs) I see at top right? The VR regulated to ~5v but has a small voltage drop across of 1.5-2.0v. So you may need to feed it a little more juice. I have a Pacman PCB too, but someone with more direct experience running it in cabs may butt in here and confirm/deny etc. |

If you are going to scratch build a cab and you want to use that PCB, your smartest bet is to wire the cab for JAMMA and use a standard arcade power supply. Then you can get a JAMMA to Ms Pacman adapter. That way you can also use other PCBs later on. Or even a pandora's box emulator, or Pi, or PC. It would be the simplest and most versatile thing to do. |
