Title: Ms Pacman Restoration!
Post by: AlanS17 on May 11, 2005, 10:29:56 am: 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! ;D

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!!!

If you need help finding original parts, post what you need and maybe I can help.

Post by: AlanS17 on May 13, 2005, 02:59:25 pm: 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).

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.
