Nice Ms. Pac Man!!   

I love old arcade machines having grown up in the 70s-80s at the height of "video arcades".   

About 7-8 years ago I built myself a MAME cabinet since I could not decide on a single game to play.   Cool   I still find myself spending an hour or so playing Joust and Galaga every so often.

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, I love old arcade games too.  I was born in '75 so i have some really great memories of being in some little local mom and pop arcades in the '80's.

I guess i wasnt real clear in the description of the Ms. Pacman.  Its an all original Pacman Cabinet that someone had taken out the Pacman PCB and replaced it with a Ms. Pacman PCB.

The Video Poker machines i just picked up last friday after work.  A Guy had an ad on craigslist that said he had 4 machines and he thought that one of them worked and wasnt sure about the other 3, but he only wanted $50 for all 4.

So I was alittle skeptical because the price was so cheap.  I kind of figured that they were junk and he was just  wanting someone to haul off his trash for him, but I gave him a call anyway.

I told him that id gladly give him $50 for the working one, but really wasnt interested in the others.  But, he said no i had to take all 4 for the price.  Turns out he ran a laundromat repair/service business and they came out  of a local laundromat and been sitting in his warehouse for the last 3 years.

After a few minutes on the phone with him with me trying to get just the one working machine, he says "I'll tell you what, If you come tonight and pick up all 4 machines you can have them for free, but it has to be tonight and you have to take all four".  Apparently he had 2 large delivery trucks coming  to his warehouse that weekend and needed the space.

So long story short, I went and picked up all 4 got them home and plugged them all in.... 2 of them came right on and worked great without even cleaning them up, even the dollar bill accepters work and they accept the new bills.  The 3rd one comes on but the dollar bill accepter doesnt work and a few of the buttons are unresponsive.  The 4th wont even power up, I believe the power supply is toast.


Pretty sweet deal though. Heck, he even loaded all of the machines onto my trailer with a forklift, I didnt have to do anything.

Just had to drive about 25 miles each way. So I was only out some gas money and a little time.
