I bought that thing, great party game, not the worst shock, i mean it's like 2 or 3 aa batteries, so you can't expect much, it's funny because it doesn't hurt much but it does make a lot of people drop the handle, and if you're not expecting it, it is quite a shock. now someone should hook that up to 220 and have you tough guys who don't feel anything play a game. :P

Great article!
A few notes:
7.7 - 4.5 = 3.2 not 2.7 :)
I've done this hack on 3 different Ms. Pac-TV games (because I was dumb and ruined the first 2) and the wire colors (and even the main boards) are not consistent. Make sure you are using the labels on the boards to identify the wires and not the colors! (Not that you said to use the colors, but people trying it might...)
Very nice work. Keep it up!

When I was an electrician in the navy I was zaped with 440 volts....... It threw me back a few feet and left a burn on my thumb and foot..........

Hello,
I recently ordered one of these Namco 5-in-1's to do the small bar top hack and I wanted to say thank you for the picture tutorial, it was very helpful for us new to this area of modding. Maybe next you will take on wiring some arcade controls to replace the original ones for use in a bar top! *wink wink nudge nudge*
Thanks again for the work,
Tom
