I picked up a PAC-MAN machine last night, and I was amazed at how nice it was for a machine that was over 40 years old. The guy said he bought it new in the early 80s and put it at his gas station in Ohio. The monitor has a nice picture and the control panel was in nice shape. The t-molding is faded, and no major cabinet problems. He did add a speed-up button on the control panel that detracts from the originality of the machine. He also gave me the ROM chips to convert the machine to Mrs. PAC and PoP MAN, which I'm not familiar with. I wish I had looked at the coin counter in this machine. It looks like I will have some PAC-MAN fever over the next couple of days.

Nice grab! Great machine, I had one for a while. Buy another CP for it if you want, but try to retain the orig leaf joystick.
 
Nice pick up! Also cool to learn the machines history. Iconic cabinet, these are so hard to find in nice condition, most are really run through the ringer in their routed lives and most usually have super bad hand ware on the sides .. took me a while to find a nice original condition one....... a cornerstone for arcade collectors .... ..
