Scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So boys and girls this is what a dedicated Original Ms Pacman serial #9056 looks like for $50 dollars. And the best thing it fired right up and started playing. Here are some pics without it even been wipedown. Still has twent plus years of dust. Special thanks goes out to 8bitnintendo for helping track one down for a Christmas gift for my Daughter.

When you scrap it, I'll take the bezel.

J/K :D

Nice score. Looks like that one spent its whole life 'in a row' because the sides have very little fading.

How many plays on the counter? Is the wiring inside all stock, including the filterboard? What type of monitor did you get?
 
I wonder if the seller has figured out that they got royally ripped yet. $50 working and in that condition, deal of the year! Great color in the side art.
 
Awesome, congrats on the find.

I bought a working $50 Donkey Kong once. It was sitting in a shed, missing the back door, smelled of mouse and had a nest waiting for me behind the marquee.

Hope there aren't any surprises waiting for you. :)
 
Great score.

I was thinking a machine that been sitting for such a long time might need a few things to make sure it runs for a long time.

- A cap kit might be in order.
- A new fuse block would fix another common weakness.
- A new rubber grommet for the joystick might be something to look into.
- Cleaning all the Leaf spring switches would be good to do.
- A good cleaning on edge connector would be good to do too.

I hope you and your family enjoys your game for a very long time.
