This Ms. Pac-Man machine is $180 and is about 2 hours away from me. It needs a 4P RAM fix and has repro side art. I actually like the side art for whatever reason... I find it humorous.
The coin door is in really good shape, the bezel looks mint, and the kickplate plastic is there.. I'm stuck. :(

maybe for $50....and that's pushing it. If you plan on restoring it, it'll cost you.
 
I believe that's Willis side art. They made alot of replacement art (side art, control panel art, etc) that looked close enough to represent the game, but not close enough that they could get sued ;)
 
Short and the sweet.
Buy it fix it enjoy it.

If your buying it to resell having, You going to have to pour time and effort into it.

There is a lot of Ms pacman cabs out there. Having something different is cool. Different doesn't mean you get more for it. It is just different.

I'd have to agree. Anyone else?
 
I like the art. LOL!
I don't want to do any stripping. I like machines worn, believe it or not, I like used machines better than refurb. Twobits art? No thanks, too expensive and bad quality except Vic's CPOs, I'll have to snatch one.. I really don't want to do much restoration.
 
I think it depends on what you plan on doing with the game. If you plan on a restoration it's a good deal at $100. If the cab still had the original art you would be sanding it down anyway, so why pay more for one that is in better shape?

If you plan on just playing it as is, I would wait for a better example.

You are out of your mind and waaaaaaay in the minority.

(At least, that's what people tell me and others who feel like you and I do.) :cool:
 
The Willis Ms Pac art is even more odd...it makes her look slutty...looks like she's at a strip club with the ghosts watching :D
(sorry for the crappy cell phone pic):

LOL... I've seen that before. I think Willis's Ms. Pac art was meant for conversions. The are shown above is meant to fit a Pac-Man.
Btw, nice Jr. Pac-Man. ;)
 
Yeah, the one in your pic is also shaped to fit a Pac cab, even though it's a Ms Pac shape ;) I wouldn't mind having that Jr Pac, but that was at a local arcade (which is why I was using my crappy cell phone camera). It's not there now, don't know what happened to it. It had some weird issue where the prizes would bounce outside of the maze, and award odd values, giving you letters in your score occasionally. Plus it was turbo (I prefer the challenge/torture of regular speed on Jr :D )

Probably just a fuse.
