Ms. Pacman CP (filling metal?)
lint:
I have done a search on this and turned up nothing. is there a good way to fill the original holes on the Mrs. Pacman control panel? My cabinet will be 2 players, so id like to fill it somehow. Bondo, Metal filler, etc?
Anyone have a metal shop do this for them? Does anyone sell uncut metal CP's for Ms. Pacman?
Any help would be great. thanks!

2bit score sells new Ms Pac-Panels.
Otherwise it is bondo time.
Or, you could also have pretty good results by cutting a piece of sheet metal to perfectly match your new overlay, putting the new overlay on that, and then putting THAT on the panel.

wow. this was my first post, and i get help less than 10min later. This board is really great. thank you for the suggestions, im reading oscars page right now.. I know I can get the new ms. pacman cp's, but as you know they are already drilled. ...maybe ill ask if i can get an undrilled one. I dont plan on using a cpo (just gonna cover the whole thing in black vinyl), but you do bring up an interesting idea I might resort to...
any other help is appreciated!
thanks..

Oh,
If covering in black, then I suggest going to Home Depot (or other home supply superstore) and getting a couple feet of black rubber "hallway runner". I use this stuff as overlay ALL THE TIME. It has a nice feel, looks nice and shiny on the cabinet, and most importantly, it is thick enough to cover up underneath imperfections, such as old holes, or a piece of sheet metal covering up some old holes.
