Yes, I got it from him.
Still the question remains, what's the best way to make the holes for the screws?
Could I also use a small drill?

I'm not saying this is the best way, but I do CPO's this way:

Shame we didn't share the shipping costs on this....but my mistake !
Anyway, I'm going to order some more stuff from Phoenix though for my Ms.Pac, not just the marquee CPO.......I have made my decision......  ;D

Great, thanks for the info.  ;D

So I guess you will use stickers? It's really tempting, I have been thinking about it also.
I'm too lazy and inexperienced for the stencils and the pic's on klov do look nice.

Or are you talking about the Mario bros to Donkey Kong conversion?

+1 I think I know myself too well to have the patience to do the stenciling like that nor the time....

My main point was the shininess of the decals, I expected them to be pretty shiny, but those pics convinced me. There is only a tiny issue that the copyright says Namco but the CP says Midway....I think I can live with it....

The wrong copyright kinda sucks, expecially since he got the CPO right. But hey, you can't have everything.

Why are you going to order a new maque?

Uh, I thought I'd read that on the KLOV forum....but I'm actually not that sure....I asked a question there about it now....

Gyruss: You're right I'm not going to order a marquee (why would I :) ) but I meant the CPO......corrected in that posting :)

Yesterday my brother visited me and we decided to replace the ms pac man cpo with a brand new one.  :D

We detached the control panel from the cabinet, as you can see the cpo has some minor damage.





After cleaning the buttons and removing the glue from the control panel it was time to put on the new CPO.





It looks beautiful.  :D :D



Next up: replace the monitor (with severe burn-in) with a brand new one.
