Pac-Man Restore Underway

Now, does anyone have a nice Pac-Man bezel for sale?

I do ... shoot me a PM if you like based upon pics below.

I actually planned on fixing it up and covering it in black vinyl. I wanted to make it into an R-Type or my Playchoice-10. The gray mottled laminate is actually very very ugly. The cab is built with Particle board and OSB (chip board). Pretty crappy construction materials.

Did Nintendo use that cabinet for anything other than Vs. and R-Type?

I don't care for particle board either, but lots of cabinets were made that way. I figure that once it is restored and in a home environment, it doesn't really matter.
 
Is that stencil or is that the vinyl stick on kit? The vinyl is glossy compared to the original paint. Stencil'd ones look much more authentic in my opinion.

From his link, it's all stencilled. Really cool pics showing the different stencil layers.

The feeling when peeling off each layer would have been awesome!

This should be a good one to keep an eye on. I will be doing the same project, time permitting. I am aiming to have it done by Christmas for my wife. I am hoping it will win me a few "wife credits" considering it is the only game she really wants.

Don't know about you all, but I adjusted my wife's DIP settings for "Free Play"
 
Hey fellas, a year and a half later, and I'm back. I have the paint stripped and the last coat of bondo is waiting to be sanded. I sanded and sealed the bottom of the cab, repainted the leg leveler mounting plates and reinstalled 2 of them. Tonight I will finish sanding the bondo and prime the cabinet. I will get some up to date progress pics before I sand tonight. Man having little kids really slows this process down.
 
You're just realizing this now?

My 2 year old boy is very active and is in love with me. Since the garage is not a very safe place for an active little boy, I can really only go out there when he is gone or sleeping. He's rarely gone and when he's sleeping, so am I. My daughter also likes for me to either ride bikes with her or take her to the park when I have free time, and gets pissed if I start working in the garage when I could be playing. Add a pregnant and moody wife into the mix and you get what I have now. 1-2 days per month left over for restorations if I'm lucky. If one of my wife's family members has a birthday, catches a fish or sneezes, I am forced to give those days up as well so we can go to her parent's house and sit there picking my ass. Waaaaah.

Hire a nanny. Problem solved.
