I picked up a Ms. Pac-Man cabinet this past weekend with the intentions of fixing it up. Played a few games before tearing it all down, my only complaint was that the image seemed to be slightly rotated on the monitor, and I couldn't adjust the size enough to see the scores across the top and the lives/fruit across the bottom.
My plans for the restore are:
Sand, repair and re-stencil the cabinet (unless I can't find someone to cut stencils, then I guess I'll get a sideart repro)
New t-molding
Strip and repaint all the metal pieces (marquee brackets, CP, coin door)
New CPO (old one had a hole drilled in it for an extra button that does nothing and will be removed)
New leg levelers
The marquee and Glass are both in decent shape, there are some light scratches in the glass that are not super noticeable when you are playing, and a few small scratches in the paint underneath.
At this point, I've got everything removed from the cabinet, and have it ready to start stripping the paint. I've also got the coin door completely disassembled and have started stripping it with a wire wheel.
Really looking forward to making this my summer project. I'll be updating the thread with more pics as I go along. Any comments or advice is appreciated!
