Amazing what a cap kit will do

Before:

It's difficult to tell from the pictures, but the top of the monitor was quite dim, while the bottom is washed out.  Brightness was turned up way too high, but that was the only way the top would be visible, turning down the brightness would cause the top to disappear while the bottom would still be washed out.

Does it Work? Ms. Pac Man edition.

Time for another episode of "Does It Work?"



Spoiler alert:  It does.
Threw my 96-1 Multi-Pac in there, so plenty of Pac Goodness for years to come.
Need to do a cap kit, throw on a CPO, and maybe some new leg levelers and t-molding.  Might do a joystick rebuild too, but to be honest after playing for a few hours it felt pretty good.  Player 1 start button is a little finicky, but probably just needs to be adjusted or cleaned.  Other than that I think I will leave as is. I could re-stencil it, but I probably won't. I like the character.

Hmmm, What's going on here Part 3

A little tape?


...

When those stories you hear that happen to other people...

...happen to you.



Or if you prefer not to watch the video... had a nice pickup yesterday.



$50 each.
Ms Pac has no monitor, but works otherwise.  ICB needs replacement belts which I will be ordering soon.
