Ms. PacMan Restoration
Information
Owner Group
Version 1.0
Status In Progress
Started On January 2011
Cost Donation driven


Overview

This project was donated to the group as it was found on Craigslist, acquired by Claudio & Joe. It was originally in a restaurant, bought by another party, appears to have had some work done on it, and was not working when we first examined it. Sonny was able to isolate an issue with a prom that was not acting correctly and borrowed a replacement part. The borrowed replacement part made the machine operable but the video needs some further tweaking.
