New Project....... needs direction
« on: January 13, 2010, 02:02:00 pm »
I recently finshed my first build, a scratch street fighter theme.  I want to build another, but I thought I would convert a old PCB arcade game instead.  So I bought a working commando game from a guy on craigslist for $100.  Only problem is when the guy showed up the cabinet he delivered was not the one in the pic.  I took it anyway, It turned out to be a bally/midway pacman cab.  Someone had painted it black and converted it to commando.  The orange t-molding gave it away.

My original thought was to build a new bezel for a 21"lcd and make monitor more upright, and put on custom full sideart.  Now I'm not so sure,  I am thinking about restoring it back to Pacman?  Any suggestions?

Personally, I would turn it back to a pacman.

Where did you buy the game at? City, State?

Yeah I thought you were from this area but wanted to be sure. No it wasn't mine but I saw the listing on Craigslist and considered buying it myself. It was a decent deal even if it didn't work. Although I think the Pac is a better cab that was kind of a slimy thing to picture one cab and deliver another.
