Hailrazer's Ms. Pac-Man Cocktail Restore : A Woman Scorned
About 1 year ago I had a WTB add on the local Craigslist. A guy called me and said he had a Ms. Pac-Man cocktail in rough shape, non working, no game pcb , monitor not working with extreme burn-in, etc. I told him I wasn't interested.
He calls me back a little later and mentions he has a UR Ms. Pac-Man also with a monitor that needs a cap kit. I tell him what the heck. I'll cap his monitor for the Ms. Pac-Man cocktail.
He agrees and I get the chassis, cap it, return it and pick up the cocktail.
A Klov friend (NewSheriffInTown) gives me a couple of Ms.Pac-Man pcb's. I piece together a working one out of them.
Another Klov member (WarGamerHq) gives me the Underlay that goes under the glass.
But the game sits in my work room for over a year. To many projects and no time of initiative to fix it up.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago. I always talk about my hobby at work. A Body Shop owner I've known for over 20 years mention he would love to have a Ms. Pac-Man cocktail because he and his wife used to play one all the time at a Pizza joint when they were dating. I agree to fix it up and sell it to him.
So here's some pics of what I had to work with. Sorry forgot to snap a lot of before pics:
