Just bought this...

Jimmy Jingles:
The more research I do think I will go ahead and restore it to it's original glory. An original Pac is not as common and I really dig the yellow color. Thanks for you responses!

Now, let me run something else by you guys...

What do you think about me sticking a 60-in-1 iCade Classic Arcade Multigame JAMMA PCB in there along with a PCB to Pacman cabinet adapter? I could wire the P1 and P2 buttons to be fire/secondary so the control panel could stay original (no extra buttons).

Is this considered sin?

SirPeale:
I'd personally go with the original board, but with one of the multi-kits out there.  Mark Spaeths kit is pretty cool. 

There are too many of the xx-in-1 conversions out there, and they're all flawed.  If all you want to do is play games I guess it's okay, but I prefer it the way they're supposed to be.

WunderCade:
Huh, something tells me this guy isn't as newb as he's letting on. A 60-1? That's actually what I was  going to suggest since you want Galaga soo badly.

MaineEvent:
I have an icade 60 in 1 and it's the greatest! I can play 60 classic arcade games in the my 1 bedroom apartment!  :laugh: It might not get you street cred for having a restored Pac-Man cab... but it's definately worth it.

CheffoJeffo:
I have a gutted Pac cab currently awaiting stripping and bondo. I also have a spare 48-in-1 and JAMMA harness sitting on my workbench.

I keep flip-flopping on whether I should take the easy out or go original.

On the plus side for going 48-in-1 is the fact that I also have a set of misprinted PAC artwork (ghost is purple instead of blue ... my kids think it looks better, I think it has character, so I think we're going to go with it), so it's not going to be a balls-to-the-wall restoration anyway (I don't love the Pac enough for that) and, should I desire to sell it, the 48-in-1 will likely be worth more.

Meh ... enough of me babbling ... I think that all of the options presented are decent.

But, definitely be sure to check the wiki.
