Well I havent had a game run in a few months.. I was excited to pick up a few Ms Pacs yesterday.. Its funny in all my years of collecting I have never had a upright MS Pac.. I have had cocktails, and cabarets but no upright.. Im excited.. Not vectors, but I will be restoring one of these for my personal collection.. Both machines were missing the monitor chassis and game boards.. I prob paid to much for them, but I have a few extra chassis and they were getting no love in the warehouse...:D Operator said take them both for $120 each..

Sounds like the same situation I just went through! Congrats! Should clean up well!

Is that an aftermarket CPO on the second one? (Not the regular pac man CPO one)

Yeah, let's get a closer look at that CPO! Is that a Willis made one? I love seeing their artwork.
 
Nice. These came from a operator and they do not have a lock bar on them, even better.

Yea the nicest of the 2 has no bar lock holes.. Im excited about that one..

A few is usually more than two, but very nice pickup! :)

He still has 7 in the warehouse.. I tried to pull them all but it was hard talking him out of 2.. I will prob try to get a few more later..

I will take a pic of the cpo.. Maybe someone can tell me if its a willis.. Its pretty cool I will prob leave it since its in good shape..

Nice pick-up Dan. Everyone always wants a Ms. Pac. Cant believe my Brothers hasn't sold yet.

Matt didnt know your brother had one listed?
 
You should sell one to Jr. Pac so he can start his restoration :)

I wonder where he is, he should have chimed in by now.



At any rate, great pickup! I love seeing people post multiples of games in their garages. I have never owned more than one copy of a game at any one time. Both of those Ms. Pacs are in pretty fair shape. The one with the brighter colors looks to only need a little touch up and the correct CPO. Too bad neither has a monitor chassis or board. My Ms. Pac had been pretty much completely parts whored out when I got her. Just an empty cabinet with wiring and a faded marquee in the bottom. Took a little while but I got her looking great again.

He's busy criticizing the artwork on the new glass bezels about to be run...

Anyhow, nice pick up on the Ms. Pacs! Those are in far better shape than mine was when I got it.
 
Nice!! I got a good deal I can't complain about on my project. Complete, only needed a flyback/cap kit, but very faded, needs complete restore.

Mine has two holes on the front for a hasp that look like they were punched through..very rough. I'll have to research best way to out a patch . Maybe cut a round hole with a rabbet, then make round pieces with matching rabbets. Bondo won't cut it on my ugly hasp holes.
 
I had multiples really early on in my collecting. Did a bulk buy of conversion games (7 total) and snagged 2 Final Fights and 2 Street Fighter 2 machines at once. (Sold one of each that next weekend which was enough to pay for the lot).
