Quoted from remyjd:Hello. So..last year I saw an ad in craigslist for a baby pacman 3 days after it was posted. I got ahold of the seller who informed me that his grandmother made him scrap the machine. All he saved was pin playfield monitor bezel and game marquee. No boards. So I said I'd buy what he had. $40 I think. So here is this really rough playfield. The underside is still populated. I think I've got most of the plastics. After looking here I see it used the same board as the grand slam.
So... my noob question is such..can it be made to play as a mini pin with a board if there are available replacements? Can it be a stand alone pin? Or would any sane person just take off all its parts and toss the wooden field?

No. That playfield is garbage. Looks water damaged too. Rocketland Coin-op has literally a dozen extra Baby Pac-Man playfields from fair to excellent condition. They were selling for $75-$150.
You’re missing the other half of the plastics, and my guess would be that machine was severely water damaged long ago, so it’s sad that a BPM was destroyed, but not much was lost. You should still be able to find a complete game, 90% of the time they don’t work (Vidiot board failed or RAM went bad), and they’re usually under 1k.
It cannot be stand-alone. It would need new code.
The monitor is almost IMPOSSIBLE to source. If you had that you’d be in the money for sure.
Wall hanger for now. There’s a guy on here also trying to make Baby Pac-Man a stand-alone mini-pin, you’ll need to figure out a method to display the score since everything was done via the monitor.
