Got me a Ms. Pacman this summer that needed a lot of TLC. I haven't posted to KLOV in a while so I figured I'd share a little summary of what I did. The cabinet was kept in a shed for many years (no PCB included) and it was pretty stinky and rusty, so I did a ton of cleaning... Sealed the inside with varnish, new speaker, power cord, etc. rewired mouse-eaten joysticks, removed rust from and repainted the coin door, control panels, hardware, ventilation grills, new CPOs and underlay from Pacific Arcades, new glass from Holland Computers, some other goodies from Arcadeshop and MikesArcade. Sourced a PCB with the speed chip and had to do a bit of repair on that as well. Take a look!
First pics are from when I got the cabinet, plus one where I started stripping the coin door.
