Are all Pac-Man cocktail tables the same inside and out? Can you swap out a Super Pac-Man PCB for a regular Pac-Man PCB? Pac-Man for a Ms. Pac-Man?
 
Super Pac-Man has a totally different pinout, so it can't be swapped for a regular Pac-Man. Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man can be swapped though. (Ms. Pac-Man is really just a regular Pac-man board with an aux board and a few different ROMs.)
 
Are the monitors the same? Circuit layout? Could you use a monitor from a Super Pac-Man and place it in a Pac-Man cocktail cabinet?
 
The monitors may not be the same model numbers or even make but they are both the same type of monitor (RGB) and are interchangeable. My Super Pac cocktail has a Wells Gardner 4900 series monitor. IIRC, Pacs and Ms. Pacs usually have an Electrohome G07 (resides in my Ms. Pac upright) or a Wells Gardner 4600 series (resides in my Pac upright).
 
Thanks for the info. I am new at this. Do i need any special instructions or is it just a straight swap? I know I have to discharge the monitor, but is rewireing an issue? I would be taking a monitor from Super Pac-Man and placing it in a Pac-Man.
 
If you are removing the entire monitor, you don't need to discharge the picture tube. Just don't go touching the circuit boards or sticking your fingers under the suction cup on the tube. Its been a while since I removed the monitor from a Midway cocktail table but I don't think it is too hard. You will need to remove the glass clips and glass in order to get to the mounting bolts for the monitor frame. First, you will want to open the cabinet and unplug the monitor. After you have done both of those, the monitor should pull straight up and out of the machine. It may be eaiser to remove the monitor with cabinet opened up. I don't really remember. Anybody else do this recently? Anyway, a straight swap should be relatively easy.
