I've been in contact with someone with a solid Ms. Pac cab non-working for $100. I just thought I'd check here to make sure it's not a super expensive fix. He says it got random garbage on the screen and then he messed with the coin mechs and it got white dotted horizontal lines onscreen. He then reset the game and it got letters and numbers, then reset it then dotted lines again. Anyone have a clue what is wrong?
 
Go buy it.

My Ms. Pac had the same garbage that you are describing. I cleaned the edge connector with an eraser and it worked.

You could get lucky or it may have pcb issues. Either way for that price you need to buy it unless its trashed.

The shape is REALLY nice. No wear on the CP, maruqee isn't faded, and virtually NO hand wear. The only drawback is it's faded, no biggie. Jeff412 on here can cut just the pink in vinyl.
I wouldn't use an eraser, that would erase the plating if any. I use 90% alchohol.
 
Go get it right now or it will be gone. Someone here will help you with the board. You are not going to do any better than $100 with a board problem unless one literally falls out of the sky.
 
Hell at that price, I would of been calling everyone I knew (including my parents friends) especially if it was my first cab!

Someone's bound to help out - don't hesitate any longer.
 
If you can't drive, take a bicycle and strap the cab to three skateboards you attach behind the bike before someone else gets it!

Just kidding, that's terrible advice and you'd die, but you do need to get that thing ASAP. That's one of the easiest fixes there is and a killer price. Go get your first cab! :) Mine was also Ms. Pac... sniff...
 
Unfortunately I can easily see it going down like this.

"Mom, we have to go get it now" (Homeschool means mom almost certainly doesn't work).

"Not until your father comes home".

Father comes home at 6, says "We can talk about it after dinner".

At 7:30 when dinner is over he agrees to go LOOK at the machine "next weekend".

Jr. Pac emails seller.

"Sorry, but the machine sold about an hour after I talked to you".
 
If he does not have the cab yet I will bet it is gone. Next time you find one for $100 don't come on here and ask for advice just go and buy it then ask for help after you get it home. The amount of time it took you to ask about it here someone else bought it.
 
Just wanted to get in early on another BS ms pac thread by Jr pac.
Dude, you've been on here talking ms pac long enough to know that that's a good deal. You should buy it and THEN post about it, saving yourself ridicule and us countless hours posting things like this.
 
When did I ask if it was a good deal?

It's not 100% local. I'm trying to work out something ASAP...

He still has it FYI.

So it's 98% local? Hell even a few towns over.. someone should be willing to help.. just use the barter system.. They help you now.. and later on you help them with something.. Even if it may be digging a ditch!

I've made my buddies drive me a few hours away for cabs before, since I don't have a truck at the time. I may pay for the gas or whatever, but even so if I didn't have it at the time they would accept a favor on down the road. If you go that route, make sure you stay true to your word or that will be the last cab anyone helps with.

Get off of here, and make some damn calls!

Im just saying - after the few threads like THIS that you have already become "famous" for, one would think you would learn before posting another.

Nope - most likely your on the toilet posting - more SHIT!
