Ms Pacman Restoration!

[AlanS17]

Well I just won an auction for a Ms Pacman cab out in Bryan, TX. It's in the middle of nowhere, but my dad lives out there so he can pick up the cabinet for me.

Maybe I paid too much, but I don't think I did. I can drop in a monitor and board, replace the kick panel, and I'm DONE! 

This one's gonna be a keeper.

On a side note, my garage is packed, and I'm gonna have to start clearing other stuff out now. Keep your eyes on the B/S/T forums for items in DFW!!!

Looks to me like a steal. Is the monitor bezel in good shape? Those can be very expensive. The bezel for my galaga machine is like $139.00 from two bits.
If you need help finding original parts, post what you need and maybe I can help.

Muchas gracias. My dad is probably going to go pick the thing up today.

dang Alan!!!
How many projects ya' got goin' anyway?

[AlanS17]

I've got 14 arcade machines in the garage. Plus the one I just bought in Bryan, TX. That makes 15...

[IntruderAlert]

.. and just imagine what she'll say about 14 arcade machines in the garage

[AlanS17]

It doesn't matter if she likes them. It only matters if they like her...

Seriously, though, most of them are being restored to sell off. I'm only keeping 3 (that I know of).

Now I'm not trying to do them ALL at once, but I'm trying to restore a Galaga...

Wouldn't happen to have any extra Galaga Parts kicking around would ya?

As a matter of fact, no. What are you looking for, though? I might be able to point you in the right direction. PM me.

up until recently I was looking for an original galaga part of undisclosed type... but I found it in an undisclosed location online.  it is very sexxy and after I get a good deal on it I will be free to talk about it. but thanks anywayz

The only Galaga part I'm short on is a bezel.

okokok... I got an original Galaga two way mechanical joystick for $26.00 on ebay... YAY! I have been looking for one of these for like a year.

Original Bezels are going on ebay for like $160.00. 

[AlanS17]

Well the Galaga project has been abandoned, but the Ms Pacman project is still on.
