How hard is it to convert a Ms. Pac to a Mr. Pac?
2PacMan:
I found an original Pacman cab in fairly decent condition, but someone stuck a Mrs Pacman in the cab. I know the Mrs Pac is just a converted Pacman board, so my question is how hard would it be to change it back?
I know you have to unplug the 2nd board. And i believe there are 2 character chips you have to remove from the main board....but then do you have to replace those 2 chips? Or do you just pop them out? Anyone have step by step instructions?
He wants 750.00 for it...does that seem like a good deal? If i can convert it back easily, i might buy it.

That is only a good deal if the sucker looks brand new. Pacs are not worth as much as Ms. Pacs are, and a pac has to be MINT these days to be worth $750.
If it is an arcade guy he can probably change it back for you, otherwise several guys here can talk you through it.
2PacMan:
Just out of curiosity, what's a good price for a decent Mr. Pac?? The one i'm looking at has a decent cab, the graphics on one of the sides is fading, but not too bad. The bottom is splintered some, but a little paint would fix that. And the graphics on the bezel is chipped in a few areas. And there's this really gaudy looking orange T-Molding on it...but that'd be easy to replace...what would you pay for something like that?
What are decent condition Ms. Pacs going for??
I have a good condition Ms. Pac that i want to leave as original as possible....but i thought it'd be cool to buy an orignal Mr. Pac and then put that 39N1 multipac in it.

You need to buy pacman.5e and pacman.5f and replace the 2 char chips. If you buy a multipac you just need to follow the multipac instructions.
$750 would be a little high around here, but probably would be considered a retail price. I have trouble getting $500 with a multipac installed when I'm selling.

Haw! Did anyone see the episode of Drawn Together (animated reality TV show spoof on Comedy Central) where it turns out that Pac-man IS actually also Mrs. Pac-man?!? :o The old Queen! Who'd of guessed...

Is there no way to flash the chips?
