| Cutting a Pac-Man Cab into a Ms. Pac? |

Alright, First off I hope this isn't sacrilidge, doing a conversion like this, responses i receive will definitely affect what i do... I want to take my (already converted to Arkanoid) Pac-Man /Galaxian cabinet and convert it into a Ms. Pac / Galaga Cabinet by cutting off some of the front. My reasons are: 1. The cab is already beat up and the art destroyed. 2. Galaga is the flavor of the month, and i got all of the artwork for a song. 3. I can't stand the thought of going through a deconversion that even a layman can recognize as a pac conversion. Is this possible? are the cabinets otherwise identical? am i insane? |

I don't understand what you'd be cutting off. Weren't both cabs the same other than a few minor things like location of control panel bolting, etc? |

I presume he means to cut the top front of the cab into the (lady-like) curve pictured below. I say go for it Converted pacs are everywhere. |

I think there are some other suttle differences also. Check out http://www.jakobud.com/ and compare the two. I don't know how "perfect" his plans are, but they look good to me. I'd lay it out on your cab and see if everything will fit to the specs. I figure if you can mod it and it be an exact reproduction of the Ms. Pac then go for it. If not...then I'd just leave it alone. IMO |
