Ms. Pac-man Restoration
ChadTower:
Satin sucks, definitely, don't use it. It won't look good and it won't perform well.
Dude - if you get stencils cut, I will pay you for a set. I think a lot of people will. There has always been demand for Ms Pac stencils but no one has ever produced a decent set.
Level42:
How's this project going ?
Shame I didn't notice it any sooner (=hooray for the Restoration section :) )
That reset switch could have been the cause. If you keep resetting the game a screen like you described will occur. Much like my Centipede that was in constant reset because of a bad IC in the reset circuit.
However, a reset button is always closing contacts, not opening them and since the top was off, I guess it was constantly open already.
60 bucks is a very nice price for a board repair !
BTW, congrats a steal indeed, Ms.Pac's seem to be around all-over the US but not here.....
And nice to see I'm not the only one to take pics of cab AND kid :)
Lutus:
I am interested in the stencil progress myself.
WunderCade:
Wow...it has been forever since I updated this thread.
The PCB was the problem. It has long been fixed (by Pete Hingston) and working perfectly now. Everything is working but the cab has been gutted. Stencils have been acquired from JoyMonkey and restoration process begun last week.
And www.rotheblog.com is featuring my Ms. Pac Restoration stencil process starting today actually.
I'm working with Jeff Rothe to simultaneously put this restoration into a tutorial format.
Witchboard:
Haha.. good deal. I'm restoring a Ms. Pac as well. I'll follow the topic over at rotheblog and make use of any tips. I'm not stenciling though. I'm using the sticker. Before I get castrated, I've had them for a while and already invested the money before the stencils were available. At least your marquee looks usable. Mine was so terribly faded, well anyway, enough with the derailing. I'll be watching your restoration thread and rotheblog for updates. :cheers:
