I bought this cocktail with a Ms Pac board set in it. It has been cobbled over the years like many of them.

I assumed it was a Pac cabinet because of the squared off area above the control panels. However, a Pac underlay that I have is too small.

The overall size of the top is 24 x 35.75 and the monitor opening is 17 x 12.75. These dimensions are larger than the often advertised top glass.

What have I got?

Here is another hint. The PCB sits on a "shelf" underneath the monitor. So, with the monitor in place, the PCB would slide out from under it when the cocktail is flopped open.

The top DOES open like a Pac cabinet.
 
Hard to tell from that pic,
The top DEF doesn't look stock....
The coin door is that of a Ms Pac cocktail, not a Pacman. How ever not sure what that is under the coin door? Ms Pac does not have that......
 
Yeah but I can't tell if it has T-molding on it like a Ms Pac, or the wood down the sides like a Pac??? From that pic it almost looks like it has the wood?
 
There is definitely T molding, it just happens to be black. The drawer under the coin door I presume was the cash box. Hard to tell in the picture, but everything is actually in decent shape except for a typical bad corner. There are two holes from a lock bar on each side of the coin box/drawer.

There are NO vents anywhere. The speaker fires through the bottom of the cab, downward through the floor. There is no evidence that there were ever any "feet" on the cabinet, which surprised me a little bit.

Leave it to me to find the oddball stuff. I saw this thing at a flea market for two years. Finally asked about it and he said he didnt know a thing about it but it was mine for $25. I took a chance and was playing Ms Pac after a video conversion board and an old PC monitor.
 
Well any Ms Pac I have ever seen does NOT have a drawer under the coin door?
Here is a standard Ms. Pac cocktail cab......
