The Mappy style cabinet is Jr. Pac's dedicated unit.  They used unsold Mappy cabinets at the factory to make these, and even though I don't know production numbers, didn't sell many. Jr. Pac was more popular as a kit.  There was one kit that converted Pac/Ms Pac/Pac Plus machines and another one that converted Super Pac.

1 puckman cocktail (yeah, puckman) w/ power supply issue (was working until ps went down but i cannot find schematics to fix it)

Hello, I had a similar problem with my ms-pacman cocktail. I would get intermittent video but the game played on without a problem. I installed a cap kit on both the monitor and the ms-pacman motherboard. They are a cheap and relatively easy fix to many problems (just be very VERY careful when working with monitors). However, while my image improved greatly, my intermittent video problem persisted. Finally, I inspected the 2 pin molex connector that supplies power to the monitor. It had worn to a point where the connection was no longer reliable. I replaced that connector and haven't seen a problem since. That's my story and it probably isn't yours but I thought I would share it for you and others. Things you may want to try: 1) With game on, CAREFULLY turn up the brightness on the monitor until you can see a mostly white picture with lines on it. If you can see this, then your monitor is working but not getting a video signal. If you can't see this and don't hear the familiar high-pitched whine of a video monitor, then your monitor is dead and there could be several reasons. Search the web for a troubleshooting flowchart for the monitor type you have. It is most likely either an Electrohome G07 or a Wells Gardner monitor. A new cap kit and the replacement of the high voltage transistors on the chassis is a great way to start. Just do your homework if you've never worked on a monitor before. 2) If you can see the white lines when you turn up the brightness, then the first thing you need to check is the connection between the game board and the monitor. The following web site has a wealth of information regarding Pacman/Ms Pacman and troubleshooting a restoration project. http://users.adelphia.net/~68hc11/pacfile/pacfile.htm A Ms Pacman board is just a Pacman board with a daughter card in the place of one chip. The problems are all the same between them. Anyway, I wouldn't replace the monitor before you spent a little time first with troubleshooting the existing monitor. Most can be fixed easily and at very little cost as long as you take some time to learn and are safe. Good luck.

Hi,    I bought a P&P cocktail kit on ebay a couple of years ago.  It came with an extra set of Super Pac roms.  So I am assuming they are swappable.  Here are pics of my board and kit if it helps... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1621.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1622.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1624.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1256.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1255.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v120/shertz/ARCADE/DCAM1252.jpg                    -steve

Midway Space Invaders Switching Power Supply Conversion Kit It's an (almost) Plug and Play kit that replaces the original power regulator board (especially useful if your old one has dried out capacitors).  The hardest part of the whole installation is stripping the ends of two wires.  The kit includes an already assembled, fully labeled adapter harness and the parts required to connect and securely mount a switching supply in your cabinet.  The kit does not include a switching supply - those can be found in several places on the 'net for a lower price than we can sell them for.  Price: $35

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+1 . I got all new caps, some slightly larger since the exact size wasn't available, and I figured it'd help with the ripple... well, still same ripple . I've got ~75mV on the 12V line, ~45mV on the -5V line, but almost nothing on the +5V line. Any ideas what else besides caps could cause this? I swapped the rectifier diodes from another because I thought maybe they were old and letting some of the negative voltage through, pulling down the voltage, but that didn't make a difference (unless the other diodes were bad, but I've never heard that being a problem w/ these boards, so I doubt it).

Cgood call CN if you drop out the -5v it would lose video and go into "diagnostic" maybe there is a capacitor that is not holding I have a schematic of the boards. I'll try to find it and trace it out.

I asked prOk if he'd make me some stencils if I sent him high res scans of what I had left of the original overlays. He agreed. I sent him the scans of my chewed up control panels. He Photoshopped the missing pieces and made GREAT stencils of the overlays. Then, on top of that, sent them to me at NO COST, NOT EVEN SHIPPING! I just primed them and airbrushed my 1st color tonite. They should be done by mid week.

2300 Pengo's?! That's shocking. I always thought that Pengo was a fairly popular game.....

brown black black (gold)If R29/R30 are blown, you probably need to either clean the fingers of the edge connector on the PCB or replace the edge connector on the harness.

You can always try to do it yourself. If I were you, I would be bidding on this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150137282574 Does not have the ROMS, but Bob Roberts will sell them to you: http://www.therealbobroberts.net http://www.therealbobroberts.net/mpacroms.jpg Either Bob Roberts or Jameco will sell you a Z-80 processor. Of course, no guarantees on this route, you may have to do some debugging and research, but if I owned a PacMan it is the route I would be on... Just my $0.02 USD worth Christian
