I'm restoring a Ms. Pac-Man machine (thread in the showcase), and have a few questions.
First, anyone out there have any advice for getting stencils? I have the PDF file with the stencil, just need someone to make it. I saw that this old game can do stencils, but not sure if they'd do this one. If you have any experience going with someone online, I'd appreciate a PM about your experience.
Second, I was wondering what approach folks have taken to repainting a control panel. I'm fixing up a Ms. Pac-Man, and I need to repair a hole in the CP where they had added in an extra button -that part I'm fine with. Not sure the best approach to repainting though.
I'm looking for a solution that will be the most durable over time, and I'm worried that if I just use primer and some black spray paint that it will be more likely to wear off or be scratched. Not sure if powder coating would be worth it though, or if for the cost I'd just be farther ahead to order a new CP.
And third, anyone know where to get the 25 cent inserts for the coin doors? Mine are pretty scratched up, and I'd love to replace them. Problem is, anyplace I've found that carried them are totally out of stock.
Any input appreciated!
