well, Baby Pac-man is going to become my next purchase. I put a hold on one tonight, I just have to find time to pick it up. If anyone has any good internet resources on this cabinet, let me know, as the one I'm getting is complete, untested, may be working, may not be, but I want to be prepared to fix 'er up.

Nice score! It's a neat machine, but sadly isn't as much fun to play as it is to look at. Still, if I had tons of space, I'd pick one up too. :)

ok, so as expected i do have a bad battery....it hasn't leaked onto the board at all yet, but it would have if it wasn't addressed....
anyone have any good replacement ideas....
MPU Board Battery Corrosion.
There is a rechargeable nicad battery on the MPU board which often leaks. This can cause all kinds of problems with the MPU board, and even the Vidiot board (which is mounted right below the the MPU board and the battery). Remove this battery ASAP and discard. Aside from ruining the MPU board, it can also spread its corrosion down the center section of the Vidiot board, all the way to the lower sound section of the board! Of course the .100" connector pins will be ruined in the process, not to mention the Vidiot board traces and its components. A remote mounted three "AA" battery pack with a blocking diode is suggested as a good MPU board battery replacement.

Wow! Anything Pac-related in a thrift these days is a rarity...but a Baby Pac machine????? This must have been some time ago?
Thanx for the awesome pics. I envy anyone with the room for a bowling alley coin-op. LOL
