Looking for the following (any condition is acceptable if the price fits): Bezel, marquee, both sling plastics.
I am aware you can buy new reproductions, but I figured I'd see what's out there. Shoot me a pm.

Has anyone rebuilt the power supply circuits on the vidiot board? I’m going to recap and put ezsbc voltage regulators in, but I’m wondering if I should replace anything else while I am doing the work.

Similar subject, does anyone besides eldorado games service the vidiot board?
Quoted from Willl:Are you repainting? Just clean and seal? New vinyl? Mine is dirty, and some slight paint damage. I’m thinking about just cleaning whatever dirt I can off then doing a really good layer of clear coat over it. Keep it authenticate.
I’m floating between clean and clear coat, vs sand and overlay. I’m going to try a magic eraser and see how it looks.
Has anyone seen the colored target decals in person? I'm looking at them here: https://www.thisoldgamearchive.com/misc-parts/baby-pac-man-custom-target-decal-set

How are the bezel and marquee held in? Mine didn’t come with any, so I am trying to figure out if I need more hardware to install my repros.
Quoted from SilverUnicorn:The top marquee is held n by a black metal trim piece. On mine it is screwed into the cabinet with 3 torx tamper resistant screws. T-20 size. Be careful with it because once the screws are out it’ll drop loose ke a rock. There’s nothing else holding it up there.
As far as the monitor bezel……I wish I knew. After looking at mine and trying to figure it out I’m at a loss. Hopefully someone can help there. I took stuff apart but couldn’t get it to budge.[quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks! I definitely don’t have that trim piece. It looks like some of the arcade repair parts suppliers have generic marquee trim (some have upper and lower) so I will likely try that.
I’ll start browsing YouTube to see if I can find someone remove the monitor bezel

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:It’s been ages, but I believe the monitor bezel is barely held in with anything. I just lift up on mine and it falls forwards. Gotta double check
I figured it would’ve been secured in somehow to prevent people from walking out of the arcades with them.
Quoted from gutz:Two brackets inside that slide towards the front to prevent the glass lifting up. Slide them back to remove the glass
Do you have a picture? I definitely don't have those brackets and will have to make up something.

Quoted from Skatewake:Is there any good replacement of the playfield feature light for the Baby Pac-Man. I thought I could use the Yopsicles and they only work in some of them because they stay light all the time? I have a new playfield for mine and I would like to upgrade the lights. Thanks
Those supposedly worked for games with a lamp matrix (yopps do not). I have not tried them though.

Quoted from Pinballer22:Has anyone switched the 555 lamp sockets to 44 sockets? If so do you happen to have a picture? Looking to change them on my machine and want to make sure I wire them up correctly.
I swapped out my GI, but not the controlled lamps. If you do swap out the controlled lamps, make sure you use the three lug sockets and put on a diode in the same arrangement as the factory sockets.
Quoted from Skatewake:Any chance of getting a picture of your work?
Anything specific?

Quoted from Talon2000:I did a thing. Side blades for Baby Pac.
https://www.titanpinball.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=182&search=baby+pac-man
My inner side walls look like crap, Bally must've used the cheapest non-finish grade plywood they could find. I was considering trying to make mirror blades, but I may give these a shot.
Quoted from Skatewake:I ended up putting led strips behind the marque and I'm really loving it.
[quoted image]
I’d like to copy, but maybe not as bright. What size led strips did you use?
If we are talking rom hacks, it would be cool to get some different level layouts. I am fine with the speed as is, but variety would be awesome
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:The layouts do change once you get to the higher levels and then the walls become invisible!
I think some of you guys have your games set up way to easy!
To be fair, I’ve never even played mine.

Quoted from Lithonion:Alltek board showed up a day early!! Now I can play some BPM on a traditional Friday night! I re pinned a couple of the connectors and the video looks so much better. Need to just do them all now.

Quoted from Pinash:I need a lock bar that locks down the control panel. If you have an extra please let me know.
Also, maybe a transformer? Does anyone have a spare kicking around or know of someone with a parts machine?
Quoted from pinballplusMN:I wonder if a Bally one works such as Flash Gordon etc?
Good question. The “normal” transformer wouldn’t have the connection for the monitor or tube light, but I could probably make that work. I’ll have to check a schematic from another 80s bally to compare voltages. If anyone have done a similar substitute, please chime in!

Quoted from Lithonion:oooPIVYooo I liked your bezel mod so much I did my own tonight. It really makes the game pop. I did put more strips in mine in front of white coroplast board from Michaels. I used a real nice kit from Amazon with dimmer, extensions and all kinds of mounting hardware. I went with the 6 strip kit to try to even all the light out.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
That looks incredible! How’s the board held in place?

Quoted from Jesterfunhouse:When I restored my Baby Pac Man I did the T molding in light blue and pink. I think it matches the colors of machine perfectly. What do you all think?[quoted image]
I agree with the Pac-Man blue t molding. I took it a step further with the matching buttons.

Quoted from bpull:Well, that didn't last very long. turned it on and all the sudden, nothing, checked the communication, nothing.

Have you redone your connectors?

Quoted from pinmods:Advertising flyer shows your button type so maybe yours is early production. Where are your boards located on the door? The one is the flyer has them mounted low on the door which I have never seen elsewhere.
What’s considered low? I’ve attached a picture of mine, which has silver volcano surrounds with black push buttons.

I didn’t take any “after” pics but here what I have for “before”. As for rebuilding, I usually just take all the metal parts off and clean them up enough to make sure things move freely, replace springs with fresh ones, and replace the large reset coil sleeve. I also replace the targets, but that’s usually for cosmetics.
