Hi all,
Is it possible to swap out the monitor from Mappy upright into a Pac-Man upright? The pac has a lot of Burn but I will be keeping it and selling or trading the Mappy. Btw, the mappy cab is near perfect, with an new marquee and bright clean marquee t-molding.
 
Yes. Electrically, it'll work just fine. I don't know about the mounting arrangement though. Look to see if they both have the same sort of metal frame - Pac-Man uses a horizontal shelf mount monitor mounted on it's side - I don't know what mappy uses.

But the real question is... why? If the Mappy is in great shape, why part it out? And if you put the Pac monitor into Mappy, it's going to stick out like a sore thumb. Pac burn isn't too noticeable in Pac-Man, and if your Pac monitor is burned to the point where the burn interferes with Pac-Man, then Mappy probably won't even be playable.

Hmm. Maybe it won't work once installed. This is good feedback. The reason I'm doing this is the Mappy Monitor has no burn. I assume that the new Mappy owner can replace the burned-in Pac monitor in the Mappy. I agree that the Pac burn will look somewhat lame in the Mappy cab. I think the mappy cab is in such pristine condition for the monitor to be over-looked for the time being.
 
He never said he was parting it...he said he was selling or trading it.

AFAIK it should be a straight swap, assuming that Mappy uses a similar Midway mounting system. Depending on the monitor you may have to rearrange the harness pins.
 
My original Mappy also uses a horizontal shelf mount monitor mounted
It's a G07.
 
Mounting should be the same...I have both and actually installed an older ms pac monitor I had from a project into my mappy when I got it since the mappy monitor had cracked tube....
