Today's Pick up - Baby Pac Man

nice score. doesn't look in too bad shape. hopefully it'll fire up and you won't have any mpu or vidiot issues...
 
Thanks, everyone. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out tomorrow. I looked at it before running out to class and it looks complete! The playfield lloks to be in excellent condition. The bezel has some issues and the marquee looks good. The back door is a complete loss but the cabinet is solid. The top is chewed up in the back for some strnge reason. Tomorrow, I'll fire her up. Wish me luck.
 
How can someone possibly buy a new game and not plug it in as soon as they get home??
 
Got this off CL today. Paid $250. It's in pretty nice shape. Don't know if it works.

Thanks to my brother and nephew for picking it up.

Steve, sorry for sniping in your neck of the woods. LOL

Hey Ben! Glad to see you are the one who got the Baby Pac but don't be fooled. I knew about it BEFORE it hit CL. George (the seller) got it and a few other games in a bulk buy of pinball machines.

If I wanted it, I would be the author of this thread. :)

I did grab the Bank Panic and Jungle King for $100 each. ;)
 
Its a baby pac, of course its not going to work. You need to spend hours making repairs and upgrades to it before it will be reliable.
 
I Agree with Riptor doubtfull its gonna work. I've rebuilt 3 of these and your gonna be cleaning pins and connectors and reflowing solder points till you can't see straight. Hopefully your vidiot is good. Keep us posted and nice pick up.

on the sound issue - there's 2 sound pots. One is in the bottom right hand corner of the vidiot. Make sure its not turned down. The second is either on or right inside the coin door. Make sure its not turned down.
The one on the vidiot is notorious for going bad. Thats the first thing i'd do if the volume's not just turned down.
Joystick not going down could be a number of things- bad connections, dirty leaf switch, or one of the 6821's on the mpu are all good places to start looking.
 
GEEZ HOW MANY OF THESE IN THE ALBANY AREA AM I GOING TO MISS OUT ON!!!!!

THAT IS 2 IN THE PAST WEEK!!! 4 TOTAL!

Someday I guess I will get one. :-(

Congrats on the score.


Don't forget the 3 I picked up last year.

They seem to be EVERYWHERE! :)
 
Update!

She works 100%!!! Reseated some connections and now I have sound and 4-way joystick control! My son loves playing it. Now to clean her up and make her pretty again.

Thanks for everyone's suggestions and wors of encouragement. Even you, Tighe. :D
