This one I have been working on for over a year. It was always a permanent fixture at the ski area that I frequent every week. I am a ski patroller and volunteer my time every week taking care of the injured after they have their "yard sale" all over the hill.

Anyway, this lonely Ms. Pac Cabaret has been a staple of the bar for years. After my shift she has always been there just waiting for me every week just waiting for me to take her home. Last season, she was getting upset with her location and started to put out junk on the screen. Then she gets kicked to the back corner.

I have been working on a deal with the owner since last year and he never budged. This year I started early in the season and finally after several weeks of careful negociations (and the Packers getting farther in the playoffs) he finally let her go. Every week the Packers won, the price kept going down which he was agreeing to as well. As soon as he said yes, cash was handed over, and it was in my truck within minutes.

Now she sits in my garage waiting for me to fix her. Me so happy now.

Then it was time to party and bask in the victory. The end.

Awesome story Big Kev. Great machine to own. A Ms. Pac Cabaret was my first arcade machine. I even built my house around it. It will stay in my bar forever.

That thing looks to be in excellent shape cosmetically. Nice score, especially considering they're not common.

I saw my first Super Pac-Man cabaret recently. Sure as hell can't be many of those around, either...
 
I'll leave you guys to your "thing"... but wanted to say congrats on the Ms. Pac Mini... That's an awesome score, and looks like it's in excellent condition!

It is in very good condition. A good cleaning, new t-molding and the cosmetic work should be done. Then to the internals. Hoping for an easy fix as I know it was working last season.

Awesome story... and she looks beautiful! :beerchug:

The wifey and kids don't realize, that if I ever come across one of these little girls... our old hag is out the door. :D
