Proud owner of one of those GDI flop games! :cool:

This was actually a pretty easy solution. The "coin slide" (sorry I don't know all the actual names for each piece of coin mechs) has a plastic piece that sticks out. Turns out, it slides off and on. I just took it off, and the metal slot fit perfect. Upon testing, the coin slides right...

I have a Pac Man coin door that is in pretty good shape, but it's missing one of the coin entry slots. It looks as if someone before me glued on the gray plastic coin entry pieces, and the other came off. I bought two of the metal ones, since all the pictures I've seen of this particular coin...

I'm getting ready to strip and sand the cabinet... but for the interior black part surrounding the monitor.... should I sand this down and paint it as well? Or just bondo the scratches and paint over it? Also.. better to use black spray paint or regular black paint? Advice from the experts...

Whoever owned this before me did a pretty lousy job trying to apply new artwork, so I'm going to sand it down to the wood and apply new vinyl artwork. Looks like the original paint job and graphics are still underneath. I have a sheet sander...but not an orbital. OK to use the sheet sander on...

Can someone decipher or have any idea why this game was programmed to have over a dozen indiviudual difficulty settings and what exactly do they mean? Auto? Easy auto? Setting 7? Anyone ever ponder the reasoning behind this??? See attached for what I’m talking about...

I just found this in between the pages of an old book in a box... since it's pacman related I thought y'all might get a kick out of this. This was probably done in 1984 or so when I was 4 years old. I was very advanced for my age in reading and writing (dunno what happened since...lol). With...

In the middle of gutting my super pac to sell to a buyer and I found the paper with the dip switch settings. Just pondering what Namco was thinking with the insane 12 different difficulty settings, some of which makes no sense to me. Easiest AUTO difficulty vs easiest level of difficulty. So...

Nice Jr. Pac Man (converted many owners and years ago from a Galaxian). Dig the funky 80's wood grain that they covered the sides with (I actually like it!). All in all, it's in good shape and looks nice compared to a lot of the ugly botch jobs that happened when these came out as a conversion...

Got a decent Super Pac Man that played great for all the years I've had it...then the monitor died. Still powers up fine and plays blind. Cosmetically it looks decent for it's age- all the usual battle scars. Someone before me put in a new power supply. Throw a new monitor in there and she...

Selling my restored original 1981 Donkey Kong... $1500 OBO... Brand new everything... refurbished CRT monitor, control panel, side art, new coin mechs (accepts quarters or can be set to free play). Squeaky clean inside and out. Located in Staten Island New York. Free local pickup. I'll ship...

Greetings... For the very first time, I've decided to sell one of my games (a restored Donkey Kong in favor of a much more rare Red Alert). Since I've never sold a game, and I haven't had any luck selling it locally, I want to list it on Ebay. My question to you guys is, as far as crating...

Hey fellas- So this is the first time I'm replacing a CPO and I want to make sure I do it right. Attached is a pic of the Super Pac CP along with the repro CPO. For those of you who are experts, I'd appreciate a quick rundown of exactly how I should go about this relatively simple project...

Hi guys- I have a Midway coin door that has no key. I have to get in there so I can replace the CPO and bezel. The lock is not the sort of 1/8'' lock that usually can be found on these coin doors. Any ideas how I can bust it open? I don't care about breaking the lock- that can easily be...

I think she'll forget about it. If she was REALLY that upset, she probably would have chewed my ear off about it multiple times by now. The real test is going to be giving her the rent tomorrow and seeing if she says anything. I definitely don't want to give this apartment up though- it's...
