I picked up a Ms Pacman machine and after cleaning it up, I notice some different things going on right away. It has sideart was on there, that I took off due to the condition and Blue t-molding that seem to be factory.

1. Cabinet is made of mdf/press wood
2. Power supply at the Bottom
3. Different pieces of other pac games used for the bottom of the Cabinet.

I believe the later run of Ms Pacs had those different power assemblies in the bottom. They also used vinyl stickers instead of paint and that looks like your kickplate is vinyl. It also wasn't uncommon for Midway to use extra scraps of wood from other cabs.
 
Yeah its like a Tapper power supply. I haven't been able to get to my Galaga 3, but if I recall it looks that same as that one also with the same type of molex connectors.
 
Yes, that is the later style cab, obviously the side art stickers were removed at some point.

My Puzzle Bobble 4 (Double Dragon conversion) is made from scraps from an Operation WOLF cabinet.
