FS? : Baby Pac-Man, MS Pac-Man & Hot Air Popcorn
« on: June 21, 2012, 10:23:14 AM »
Been waiting for good weather to come back to sand Baby Pac-Man and get on with the restauration that was illustrated here:
https://www.dragonslairfans.com/smfor/index.php?topic=2957.30

Well, I have learned that I will be a dad (again) :D, and that the WIP Gameroom will be made into a baby room, which has repercussions on the hobby :'(. As we all know space is an issue. Asked around but no one can help me with storage in the direct neighborhood. So as much as it pains me to do so it seems I have no choice but to let go.

I will be taking offers for the bulk, and pick-up only. First serious offer gets it. I know I will never get back anywhere close to what I invested. You can always split it up afterwards if it is a joint acquisition.

Here's the take:
The Baby Pac-Man as seen in the link above.
Partially restored. A lot of work and time has been invested into this machine. Not yet reassembled (waiting to sand the cab), and missing monitor and monitor chassis.
Several spare PCB's and many other spare parts. Marquee and Bezel in splendid condition.

Ms Pac-Man upright:
Still need to make pics. Missing back door but seems to be otherwise complete. Simply does not switch on but have never looked into it as it was meant to be restored after Baby Pac.
Joystick is broken and needs a rebuild. Marquee like new. Bezel ok - some flaking. Cab solid and in good condition. Has had some paint touch-ups here and there. No water damage.

Popcorn Machine:
Seen on this pic.

Non functional = fuses jump as soon as turned on. Dirty, needs a good wash.
Seems to be complete (frontal parts are stored inside the cab at the moment).

Any questions, please ask. Also if pics of particular pieces are needed no problem...

If the baby-Pac would be complete and working, I would take it in no time, unfortunately I don't have the time and skills to restore it. :-\

Apparently a sort of hot air blower, a bit like a hair dryer.
From what I read they are pretty hard to repair once they fail unless you are a very good electrician. Well, I know you all are, but I'm just saying... :)

Since when would get a semi-pinball? I mean it does have the word pinball after all.  ;)

Yes I was stupid about the monitor. It had severe burn so I just chucked the whole thing.
But the old CRT Commodore RGB monitors you get all over german eBay are a perfect fit from what I was told.
