Pac Cocktail glass & CPO's

I just picked up one last week, so I am interested in the answer as well.....
 
The twobits stuff is pretty nice for the cocktail. There are resellers on ebay that sell cheaper than 2bits though.

I hope for your sake though that the art and glass is the only thing you need to acquire. parts for a pacman cocktail are not easy or cheap to find.

I recommend the 2bit repros because they're screened on thin plastic, the NOS ones were cardstock. I've had beers spilled on mine a few times and had some seep inbetween the glass and underlay. Been able to clean it up after removing the glass and had no damage to the artwork.

There is a glass cutter here by my house that said he would do the glass at $40 for regular glass or $60 for tempered(IIRC), That includes the beveled edges.
If you want I can give you his number.
He said it would take a safe hitting the regular glass to break it.

Much appreciated...

So, couple of questions.

The one I'm looking at has the glass but its scratched to shit. Is there a way to polish glass to get out scratches? If so, I could then just get the underlay...?

Also, what pieces are tough to find? (it looks complete but I'm wondering what I should be looking out for)
 
I am currently scraping off the original art to reuse my scratched glass with the plastic underlay. All of them I have seen done this way look great. The scratches don't bother me at all, but I am not a perfectionist. You cannot polish scratches out of tempered glass - they are permanent.

I am currently reduced to begging for an original piano hinge. Other parts that were very difficult and/or expensive:
- Coin door. I lucked into a near mint condition one from another member here. Expect to pay $50 or so for these rare doors that are exclusive to the pac cocktail.
- Control panels. Expect to pay good money for good shape panels. I really wish mine were better, but I finally had to make a compromise to get a populated pair.
- vent covers. Not rare, but paying $30+ for a few grills sucks!

The suckiest part of this game is that the cabinet is all glued together. You can't just break it down to relaminate it.
 
You can polish tempered glass, just ask anyone who is restoring an antique car that has scratches on their side glass. It's harder to do, and wouldn't be worth the time and money on a cocktail glass since you can get new glass cheaper than it would cost to even get a kit to polish your glass.

If you need grills you might want to talk with Komodo, I think he's got several.

Wow, those packages to polish tempered glass are a bit pricey. Good to know it is possible though! It is worth mentioning that even with that polishing kit, severe scratches probably won't come out.

I am using wood grain vinyl to restore mine.
 
so, if you want 'clean' or new glass, its going to be ~$80 for a new underlay and then another, $180 or so for glass? soooo.....$~260 or so just for minty glass...

Adds up quick...
