This is basically my 'grail' clock, but I've had no luck finding a place that sells it or anyone that has one. In the early 90s-early 00s, Namco arcades (mainly CyberStations) had these on the walls, every single arcade I would frequent in that time period... they offered them as prizes but I was never a redemption game guy so I never got enough tickets before they closed or stopped having them. There is another similar version with the running Pac Man graphic and newer designs, but I'm after the original version with the winking Pac Man art in the center and the blue neon around the frame. Does anyone here have one they'd be willing to part with, remember these from their arcades, or have any better pictures? I'd even just love to see bigger pics of one again. Thanks

Bump. Still really need one of these. I have all the games I want so this is all I really need to finish my arcade... sigh...
 
I have one, but sorry... not looking to sell it. I think I replied to a post of yours a long time ago with a picture, which you said wasn't it, and then changed your mind. ;) I got it from American Science and Surplus a LONG time ago... they were pushing it as a cheap neon clock that you could get rid of the Pac Man, and replace it with something cool. :p

Edit: Yeah, this post: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showpost.php?p=1459357&postcount=14 .

Yep, that's definitely it. I had remembered it as having just the Pac Man and figured it wasn't it since I thought the clock was just used for decoration in Namco arcades, but looked back through my pics and found that it was the same one, I guess it was for sale at some point which bodes well... if anyone does have one they're willing to sell please let me know. I'm definitely willing to pay a good price.

Maybe a reproduction of this clock is something you should look into.

Maybe Dogp can take up close pictures of the face plate With a little clean up and a little resizing from an artist. You can have something close.

Good luck.
 
DeadCabinet, that's AWESOME, if they're willing to sell it I don't mind having to fix the neon, I don't think it lit up in the arcade I went too either...

And Alpha-Tron, thanks for the idea, that's also a good prospect... I may be able to find the original art online pretty easy and match it, I did a little searching and found very very similar neon clocks I could probably replace the face of easily to make something pretty close.
 
I converted a beer clock to Galaga. Search craigslist and you can probaly find a suitable one, then just add the art.

Indeed, that Galaga design is gorgeous. If I didn't know better I'd think it was official as well.
 
I saw the Mrs. Pacman version of that clock at Goodwill NIB at Goodwill a few months back, but someone grabbed it before I could.

At least you know there are a few still floating around.
