Title: Addiction started! Two on the go, a cocktail unit and a POW re-brand standup
Post by: nagamitsu on May 20, 2013, 08:43:54 pm

Always wanted an arcade machine. Picked up the cocktail unit first, from my boss, just been a gentle restoration so far, mainly cleaning and paint repairs. Standup unit just picked up this weekend. Has non-working POW PCB, and unit "re-branded" to the POW game. I was curious seeing the Pacman burn in on monitor. Started stripping the paint off the sides, with intention of painting black, and was nice to see original Ms. Pacman graphics. Both units I intend on getting an Openjamma board for each. Needless to say, I'm hooked on restoring them. Even with what little time I have between work and two young kids, quite satisfying seeing things progress.  ;D

Great game, but looks like someone converted the cabinet on the fly! Horrible job. Even the marquee is cardboard backed with sticker/tape letters.

Adding some new pics of progress. Borrowed a Street Fighter 2 PCB, cabinet works great!
