Baby Pacman

Received this on the weekend as a trade..
Only 2 Baby Pacman known to be imported to Australia.

Excuse the pictures been rotated.

 

[voltronbadass]

Always wanted one of these, one popped up cheap on ebay the other week. Never saw the box before, that art gets me wet.

 

[GohanX]

That's awesome! How good is it?

 

[codecrank]

got some art from Alberto, pretty happy with the quality. color and detail is good. translucency is good. For the cpo he used his lower end material, so it's comparable to gameongrafix quality, but a bit thinner.

 

[Reclaimer]

It's coming together codecrank! Art looks nice.

My order from TaitoTech came in for my Egret2. Those guys are really on point. NOS pair of speakers, new marquee, and these weird joystick mounting plates they have for JLF's. No luck on a NOS power supply but one will pop up hopefully.




Also, check out the TaitoTech tape they use to pack their boxes. Now I want a roll of TaitoTech packing tape. Officially off the deep end

 

[mjmjr25]

That's legit - glad your bits are coming in, gratz. and yeah, those JP shops, the good ones, pack like no one's business and they always use super sturdy / new boxes.

 

[Teddy KGB]

Nice TT scoops, West. Out of the few orders we've done out here, it never occurred to me to ask them about replacement speakers. Thanks for the subliminal tip.

 

[theMot]

I wouldn't mind some speakers too.

 

[West]

Yugo over at TT is the man. Very communicative and great to deal with. Gave him part numbers out of the E2 manual and he was on it.

Got this last weekend, but finally starting to clean it and fix it up.

Crazy Taxi Naomi upright! One of my favorite arcade games ever.

Really good price, but it's a lot more beat up than this photo seems to hint at. Pretty much filthy everywhere, all moving parts covered in dirt caked grease (and only working part of the time), and lots of little things not working (start button light, marquee, subwoofer, shifter)

She's had a rough life so far (evidence of being put to work in both Japan and the US) but already I've started to clean her up and most everything has been a simple fix. Some stupid simple... Like Why doesn't the start button light up? Oh, because the light literally isn't plugged in all the way.

Should be a fun project!

Now to search for parts and get to cleaning!

 

[scgon]

At least you got the screw covers!

 

[GohanX]

lol, subwoofer pointing at your crotch blasting Offspring. I love it.

 

[codecrank]

At least you got the screw covers!

arcadefixit.com has them for 7$

 

[codecrank]

lol, subwoofer pointing at your crotch blasting Offspring. I love it.

which will probably cause you never have offsprings

Sub is non-operational right now, so I'm missing out on their nut rock.

What do they charge for a New Marquee?

I shit you not, but I was getting something out of my shed last night and found the blue crazy taxi sub sitting there. I can test it out this weekend and see if it still works and if that's the part you need it's yours for cheap.

 

[West]

What do they charge for a New Marquee?

$30.

All the parts were fairly inexpensive. What IS expensive is the shipping. On a $83 order, shipping was $76 to the US. Then there's the $30 bank transfer fee. It adds up.
