Would anybody be interested in my Puckman ? (Italian bootleg)

That was what I was thinking, too. The Puck only had degauss-issues and a bit blury picture. A cap-kit should fix most of the problems.

Congratulations, it's a very nice cab.

I also adjusted the pots a bit, and indeed a degauss with my hand degauss wand, which was a major difference

@Gyruss: i remember i took out that spot on your zero hour also with the degausser, is it still good ?

Indeed the Puckman survived without problems but that was of course partly because of the 48 in 1 and Atari ST power supply (!  ) that I used for it...

The original PCB is of a poor build quality so I think that indeed it may be best to use your Midway PCB. You'll have to check pin-out though ! (Maybe Robin remembers ?)

[PunkRockCaveman]

Maybe I can get my hands on a more reliable version of Puckman I will try the original pcb first anyway. The pinout would come handy of course, I hope Robin still has it

Yes it is!!

Punk, before you buy any T-moling...we gotta check the size... It's a European cab after all so the sides are probably not US sized...

The T-molding on it now (what's left of it) is VERY shallow/flat. Nothing like I've seen elsewhere.

[PunkRockCaveman]

OK! Thanks for the tip I will wait with my order anyway to see what I else need from the states ... Maybe a new overlay without an extra hole (sorry, just kidding). 

[level42]

You _ARE_ out of luck on that one because I actually did have TWO overlays (because Rich was nice enough to send me a spare for....if anything would happen 
However, I sold that one to Arcadegek some time ago. He happens to have the same cab

[PunkRockCaveman]

Hmmm, that's not that bad. You uploaded the eps file somewhere right? I know a guy that can print overlays in pretty good quality. Even with the like rough surface (don't know how you call this ...).

[level42]

Yeah it must be somewhere, guess Zorg has it ? Check the resto thread must be a link there...

[level42]

By the way I do feel pretty guilty that so many people did so much work to get that CPO right and I've enjoyed it only for such a short time.....but sometimes you have to make decisions. I never thought I would once own a real Ms.Pac...so I was happy enough with the Puck....yep ....things evolve and change all the time....
