Most of them are like this one... dead ten years and finally at the "get that thing the eff out of my house" stage.  I've never seen one that is still running from the original days without a major refurb job.  The vidiot board in particular, which unfortunately is pretty much unique, is unreliable.

Kaytrim, it's a standard 13", I think... can't remember the model but the cap kit is in the usual $10-20 range (shipped).

Thanks for the info on the cap kit Chad.  What is the vidiot board you are referring to, the video driver board?

ChadTower:

IIRC it is the bridge between the "game board" and the pinball driver.  Could be wrong on that, though, as I can't remember the exact breakdown of what function is on what board in that cab.

Kaytrim:
I did a google on vidiot board and came up with this site.  It is chock full of information on repairing the Baby Pac-Man machine.  http://www.marvin3m.com/bally/babypac.htm  The vidiot board controls the video game portion of the machine.

TTFN

ChadTower:
If you're going to get any pin, become very very familiar with that website.  It is everything you could need and more.

BTW, reading that summary, my guess wasn't too far off.   ;D
