My question is a simple one. Does anyone make metal reusable stencils for Ms. Pac. Thanks in advance.

I read somewhere long, long ago, that the factory used brass stencils.
There was a youtube video from a seller (similar to TNT) doing a walkthrough of their showrom, and as they were showing off the restorations for sale they mentioned that they utilized re-usable plastic vellum stencils on the Ms Pacs.
We had a complete set of silk screen panels we sold....this video shows them...LOTS of panels! And perfect! https://youtu.be/vkSA9SKxycQ
It would be a lot of trouble to have an entire set of silk screens made but considering the amount of Ms. Pac cabinets that look like crap, it might be worth having a set made. Considering, the vinyl sets only use 3 layers per side, I'm curious about why the originals were 15. But it might be possible to do it with 2 stencils and 1 or 2 black silk screens...or if someone had a vinyl printer with laser cutter, he could probably just do 1 vinyl layer (or 2) for each side of the cabinet. But I suppose, if you had the vinyl printer and laser cutter, you wouldn't need stencils at all.
