Just wondering in the DC Metro area has any 27C512's they are willing to let go? The only caveat being they can't be made by ST (my dataman won't program it). I'm looking for Atmel, TI, etc. Thanks, Dan

I'm assuming bezel is gone? If not, can you post pictures? I'll be in the area next week.

Hi, Does anyone have a molex part number on an original pac man control panel molex? Are they still made? I can see that it is a 12 pin, female, but I'm unsure of the size, I suspect either .093 or .084. Moreover, there are like 5 different molex connectors that might fit that bill. A specific...

Ok, so I went to a local paint shop. They suggested I use an oil based paint because the sticker will adhere better to the oil than the latex. My plan is to roll on like 4 coats of the oil and to sand as needed. Am I making a big mistake going with the oil? Is it true what they said about the...

bump.. I'm planning on sandblasting and powdercoating the door. So I don't really care what it looks like, as long as there aren't any dents, etc.

Hi, I'm looking for a midway coin door for a pac-man without any dents in decent shape. I'm also looking for the repro 25 cent coin door inserts, if anybody has any extras they are willing to part with. Thanks, Dan

Ok, I have the the thing basically fully stripped, sanded, and almost completely bondo'd. Onto the next step. So since most of this is going to be covered with side-art is there any reason I can't roll on the paint? I already have a compressor, so spraying might be an option, but I don't...

Wow, those were quick replies. Thanks. What's the reasoning on painting everywhere?

Thanks everybody for helping me out with the monitor. I've decided to defer on the monitor. Now that I realize how easy it is to remove, I can take care of that later. Ok, next question, Again sorry for all the questions, as I mentioned I'm a bit of newbie (especially when it comes to...

I actually have that piece. I took it out so I could show the burn-in. I guess my thoughts are while I have this whole thing apart, I should replace as much as I can. Since replacing the monitor after the whole thing has been fully restored is going to be a pain. But if you are saying it is not...

Thanks, I went with phoenixarcade. He was unbelievably great to deal with. I think he responded to every one of my emails in like 15 minutes or less. In regard to my monitor issues, I hadn't considered just recapping it. Do you really think that is the way to go? Up to now, I was leaning...

Hi Everybody, I'm embarking on my first restoration. So I'm a bit of a newbie. So I apologize for all of the questions. I have what appears to be an original Pac Man with most of the sideart painted over. I'll post some picture when I have a chance. However, in the mean time I have a couple of...
