A listing hit craigslist very local to me the other night. It had no pictures and just said a Ms. Pac-Man and a Galaga.

I called the guy immediately and asked if they worked and what shape the cabinets were in. He said they were pretty good, but both did not work.. I figured it wasn't worth messing around with or worrying too much so I just told him I'd take them. Got his address and immediately left.

Turns out that the Ms. Pac-Man wasn't dedicated but the Galaga was, and was in extremely nice shape. Disappointing since I already have a Galaga and would have loved to have a Ms Pac. I tried to just buy the Galaga, but the guy said he was only selling them as a package. He also said 6 people called while I was on my way to look at them, one even offered more money. Thankfully he had some integrity and told them someone was already on their way but he'd call them back if it fell through. I could only load up one so I loaded up the Galaga in case something happened and had to come back for the other. When I got back, he said 4 more people had called.

I haven't dug into the Ms Pac yet but the Galaga power supply tested bad, so I swapped another in and it fired right up. Picture looks great, and it plays fine.
It even still has the protective film on the top.

You didnt mention the price :) Great looking Galaga. I dont think they ever pulled that film off the tops, seen a bunch with it.

You know you can't mention price on Klov. If you try to sell it here, that's all it's worth to anyone. :p
First time I've seen the film, I thought it was pretty cool.

Very nice score, bro. Very nice. What's even better is the integrity of the seller, waiting for you to show up! Plenty of bad threads of taking more $$$ lately!

I was surprised. I was in a huge hurry to get there because I knew people would be calling.
 
Nice pickup on the Galaga.........Ms. Pac-man........not so much. I did think that it might be a reuion machine, at first, till I saw the pics.
 
I'm hoping it is.
Best case scenario the board works.
I'm going to test it in my Pac. I should then be able to sell the Marquee, board, and control panel for a solid amount. What are Ms Pac boards going for these days?

I'll probably keep the monitor, and sell the cabinet on craigslist to some mame guy.
 
What kinda cab is that ms pac? Doesn't look a lot different then my wizard of war cabinet.
They come with same power supply as pac/galaga iirc
 
Ive actually got a dedicated ms pac that only needs a working board, and am in the market for a galaga if your ever interested in a trade...

Pac is AC power supply, galaga used a linear. wizard of war also used a linear but I dont think it was the same one galaga used.
