This is a working boardset - the boards "look" like a bootleg (no daughter card, but original pacman board with stacked chips), but plays normally, and has the midway logo. I can include the full harness for an extra $25 more (needs new power switch), or another $50 more wil get the harness and full power brick, AND working power board! More less plug and play!

so to recap -
working ms pac board.
includes harness, power brick, and power supply board.

Thanks!
Jeff
EDIT!!
I had been in contact with Steve Golson and Doug Macrae (original MS pac Developers), and by the pics I sent its determined to be "some" kind of bootleg possibly based off a NAMCO pacman board:

Hi Jeff,

This looks like a Japanese Pac-Man bootleg. Many of the chips have their markings scrubbed off. The funny jumpers in the middle allow the board to be split in two and folded back on itself. No manufacturer's name. Looks very bootleg.

It's a funny number of EPROMs. Are they 2k 2716? or 4k 2532? or a mix?

Hmmm... it does have the two custom chips at 5S and 6D. Maybe it's a real Namco Pac-Man board. I'd want to hunt around for date codes to see when it was made. And I'd want to compare it to an actual Namco Pac-Man. Interesting. But I don't think Namco would have bothered to scrub the chip markings. So probably bootleg. And it's been hacked to run Ms. Pac-Man without a daughter card.

I'll be giving a talk at CAX this year about Crazy Otto / Ms. Pac-Man. We'll have the only-one-in-the-world Crazy Otto prototype to be played.

-Steve

Figured Id post pics of the boards.
Really clean, Just cant figure out how this ms pac mod was done - and why the board has interconnects - but it is a standard "looking" pac board.
and again - it plays and responds as an original... Hey - maybe its an original prototype board??? ;) :eek: LOL!

As you can see,
No graphics issues - Midway branding - inputs work, sound works, etc.
 
Wonder why you need the other power board. Pac and Ms. Pac only need the transformers, they don't have that other power board. Be interesting to see exactly what was done to this one.

Well, the power board and brick came from a blue print so Im sure they used the low voltage power feeds from the PS board. Better regulation? filtering? IDK.
All I know is it works great, and I NEED to sell it!
So being as it may that the board may or may not need this setup to run, Im just going to sell it as a complete "kit". That way there will be no discrepancies on it working.

MARKED DOWN TO $130.00 SHIPPED! :eek:
Need to sell ASAP!
 
In the 1st post it says $75...

Jr....
Please read fully before you decide just to spew out a post...
I understand your a child, but try to act a bit more adult in these forums please. Especially in my posts.

To reiterate - my ORIGINAL post was for the pac board ONLY with ADD ONS of the harness/power board and power brick for addl cost. In light of the new info I received I had decided to just sell the whole "combo" together - AS I STATED IN MY LAST POST!
But Ill edit it to avoid future confusion...
 
Sorry, it was a misunderstanding...
Is there also a price drop on just the board?

Need I say more??

No - all or nothing. Just to make sure it works. Price drop on a working $75 ms pac board? Really??
