I got the used computer I wanted five years later, an IBM 5150, so all is well ;P

    Years ago, as a favor to a game route operator, I took a water damaged Ms PAC cocktail table, dismantled it, and duplicated the pieces and built a brand new cabinet. I continued making copies of that table. I used control panels, top glass, logic board, and Midway artwork purchased from CA. Robinson, an Electrohome G07 CRT, and new wiring. Looked like the original. That was good extra money for a while. 😀
    Just a tip for you on those MSPAC monitors. If you solder a 10K ohm 1/2 watt resistor directly across the bulk cap, the G07s are safer, because the dingbat who designed the PCB put the fuse AFTER the bridge rectifier and bulk capacitor so when those pac monitors blow the fly back WHICH IS OFTEN, the 10k resistor will safely discharge the bulk cap. So you don’t have to find out it’s still charged the HARD way... but it sounds like you might ENJOY getting zapped by CRTs since it’s happened to you so often 🤣

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 года назад

      I've been zapped by that cap a few times, the fun is when it's into your leg because you set it on your lap before you replace the caps.....

      @robj7481 4 года назад

      Joe's Classic Video Games, OUCH! I was never zapped by a CRT anode, but I was zapped by a G07 bulk cap once... ONCE! After I realized the bonehead design flaw in Electrohome’s chassis, I put that resistor across the cap, if not for myself (since I was doing all the route repair) then at least to “pay it forward” so somebody else wouldn’t have an “electrifying” experience.

    I have a memory of playing Pac-Man on one of these machines at my local Pizza Hut back in the 80's. I also remember a number of games being operated in this particular kind of machine. For years, I really wish I had one of these machines in my home. If I got one that was dead, I would find a way to update the cabinet so it could play a number of classic arcade games like Space Invaders, Centipede and others like the Arcade 1UP machines do.

    I love the old sound effects used in these Pac-Man games. They are simple, but just so great to play.
    You don't want to grab a live anode usually. Colour usually tries to bump up the voltage to compensate. It basically tries to kill you. :)

My family and cousins family's would go every summer. They had it sitting in a carpeted walkway that attached two condos. Pretty random place for it. I would wonder over to every chance i got. It was on free play. Lets just say i was easily found.

    That is just amazing to see. I am used to rusted coin door parts, broken light sockets and dirt and grime all over every part. That machine is a rare find to be sure. Interesting fun fact is both original Pac-man and Ms. Pac-man have the strawberry for the prize on the second board. Even though the original Pac-man instructions say the strawberry is worth 200 points, it is in fact worth 300 points. On Ms. Pac-man it is worth only 200. So, technically the instructions printed on the original Pac-man bezel are incorrect. Worthless knowledge but one of those things that make these games so classically fun.

    I only razz you about your playing skills because it's comforting to me to see someone who's played as much as I have and is still about as bad as I am. :)
    Based on things I've heard you say, I think we probably had pretty similar arcade experiences in our youth. There's not too many games that I put enough time into to be REALLY good at. If I walked in to an arcade with 20 quarters, I wasn't going to play one game 20 times. I was gonna play 20 different games one time each. The few that I got pretty good at were the games that were the only one or two at a location where we went regularly. (I'm actually decent at Ms. Pac, as there was one at the grocery store and I'd get a handful of plays a couple times a week. And there are a few that I really focused on when I was working at Aladdin's Castle.)
    I'm still basically the same, be it at Galloping Ghost, Garcade, or on my MAME machine. I could play anything for hours and hours on end and get really good at something, but instead I just play once or twice and move on to something else. :)
    As always, thanks for the video.

    • @LyonsArcade

    Nice, NEW Ms PacMan (PMMS is 'PacMan MS') I do not believe you on the anode. You got shocked by the charged capacitor that an old tube is at the anode connection. I do not believe you ever got hit by a live, operating anode supply. If you did, you would not be here, though it does serve to explain a few things. :-) I used to move 300 PacMan and about 100 Ms PacMan games a week, and about five or ten cocktails each week. PacMan, Galaga, Galaxian, Bosconian... Had mini-uprights too. I used to play them every day at lunch, especially when a new game came in, because our feedback told the distributor how many to think about buying. Those were the days...

    I've repaired many cocktail tables when I was working for operators back in Chicago. I know exactly how many times I grabbed a anode and got shocked...... None. I kept my hands away from them. But I did grab a Bally Display once when it was on to pull it out. Once. We used to have problems with Pac Man and Ms Pac Man with Static problems and the games resetting during play. We got the Anti Static boards from the Distributor (Empire) and put them in the games. Well they caused more problems than they fixed so a few months later the Distributor told us to just remove them. I think the main problem with the kit was cheap edge connectors. Your game is the cleanest Cocktail Table I have seen in many a year. As you were showing it I kept thinking, show us the coin meter. Well after seeing it you definitely have a home use only game. I would repaint the black on the control panels and replace the underlay. Available on Ebay. You can also replace the Midway Joystick Centering Grommets. You should be able to get top dollar for that game.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 года назад

      When a distributor or repair shop worked on something, they would often put that little thing on the board as kind of a 'warranty' thing, the number on it could be traced to their paperwork to ensure it was the board they worked on.
      So at some point, either the distributor worked on that board and repaired it, or they swapped in another one the distributor repaired, OR the distributor put it on the PCB when the game was new so they could identify the board's sell date if it came in under warranty.

      @wargent99 in 1981 I worked for a kettle restaurant in Dallas Texas. That restaurant had one of those sit-down models. I played that game every day for months. It is true that there is no specific set pattern that works the exact same way every time. But there are patterns. I can't remember the highest level I got to, but it was above the bananas. As with the original Pac-Man, there comes a point when no pattern will work because the movement is just too fast. At that point it's not even about trying to get all of the ghosts when you eat a power up, it's just about getting through the level.
