Title: NOS Ms. Pac-Man Control Panel Overlay?
Post by: Neilyboy on June 18, 2007, 08:11:14 am: If this question is not allowed here let me know and ill remove it otherwise.

Anyone know where I would be able to pickup a NOS overlay for Ms. Pac-Man. I am really wanting to keep this nice shape ms. pac-man I picked up as original as possible. And would really love to get ahold of a NOS overlay. I saw a post awhile back about a place selling them for 35 bucks (I have emailed them but havent gotten a reply yet).

Anyone help me out?

Here is my ms pac [with her missing overlay]

TTFN :cheers:

Post by: Neilyboy on June 19, 2007, 06:55:24 am: right and thats not the one I want. It has NAMCO printed on the front bottom left corner. And again I wan this thing to be as original as possible. So im really looking for NOS material. I have emailed the seller to let me know. Thanks again.

Post by: Encryptor on June 19, 2007, 04:13:08 pm: Yeah I read your previous post. It does say it was bought from twobits. It's hard to tell from the pic as it's not a high res pic but I couldn't see the Namco name anywhere on that one. Good luck with it.

Post by: Neilyboy on June 25, 2007, 07:56:45 am: the control panel and coin door are getting sand-blasted and re-painted this week. My buddy works for PPG and painting is his thing so he is hooking me up for a few bucks..

Post by: Encryptor on June 25, 2007, 03:39:51 pm: Great! I was watching the auction for that cpo.

I bought 2 Midway coin doors off ebay. Neither were in great shape. I took them to a local place and had them powder coated. The guy called it a wrinkle finish but it really doesn't look like wrinkles to me. Just like a rough texture. I thought they came out great. It was a little pricey at $40 a piece but they do look nice.

Good luck.
