Holy Grail acquired after 26 years. Oh yeah, it was FREE!

On Saturday, my parents went on this annual multi-town garage sale they always go on. In the little town of Dannebrog, NE they picked up a Super Pac-Man cocktail table for $50. They decided "what the heck" and gave it to me as an early Christmas present. The guy was selling off everything from his folks antique store and he said that it didn't work. The interlock switch was badly taped over and therefore intermittent. The sound didn't work but swapping in the PCB that I already had took care of that. Its in pretty good condition. The CPOs are great considering their age, only a little wear at the bend. The monitor is a WG4900 with a nice picture. The fake wood junk on the cabinet looks good except for one spot on the coin door side near the bottom. The top glass has a few minor scratches but is ok overall. Unfortunatley, the underlay is another story. It is broken into two pieces and is in kind of ratty shape but at least it is there. No manual but that's alright.

I was totally blown away when they brought it over to my place on Sunday. Way back in the day (1983), I would get to go to the arcade when I did well in school (2nd grade). There were a lot of great games back then (Bagman, Moon Patrol, Paperboy, Baby-Pac, Tron) but Super Pac was my favorite. The one I played was an upright but nothing beats free, even if it is a cocktail table. I don't really care for them much but its starting to grow on me, probably because of the game. If it was something else, I may have flipped it but this one is a keeper.

I appologize for the lack of pictures, I will try to post some later.
 
I scored an upright for $50. Swapped out the monitor chassis with a good one I had and it worked perfectly. Cool cabinet. Don't play it a whole lot though.
 
I finally got my pics uploaded. I have never attached them to a thread. I hope I did it correctly. I love playing my new game. Now, I just have to figure out where to put it.

nice!! i used to have a cocktail too. it's fun with the attract mode sound. and yr overlays are in pretty nice shape.
 
That looks pretty nice; I'm a fan of Super Pac too.

It was the first game I bought with the potential to sell.
 
Dannebrog!! Wow! Amazing that little town had that after all these years. I see you are from Tilden. Used to date a girl from Oakdale. I see in your pics that you have a few more machines. Have you had a tough time finding them in this area?
 
i still miss mine, but quite frankly i'd rather have an upright than a cocktail.

I really wanted an upright. That is the real Grail for me but I will happily settle for a cocktail table. Especially getting it this nice for free. Now if I can just find a replacement underlay.
