Cut that fat bastard up!! : )

I would think you might be able to trade it for a real ms pac cab in similar
condition....

Since this would obviously be a crime (to some people) does anyone have
a Ms Pac cab they would exchange for a BT?

Nope....if I gotta spend money, I'm just gonna "Cut that fat bastard
up!!" as thrushguy so tactfully put it. And actually Galaxian and Ms
Pac are shaped differently......

Galaxian and Pac Man are the same cabinet shape.

Galaga and Ms Pac Man are the same cabinet shape.

I think.

Glad you have your template. Now go and cut the BT, and then when you
need something, be sure and ask. You said that your area is dead for
arcade stuff. Maybe you just don't know where to look.

Point is this. You asked for a template, and then asked for offers on
the cabinet. I offered a Galaxian and you got pissed for some reason. I
could care less and won't bother wasting a lot of time on this, but
just for kicks, you might want to take you tag number off of your web
site if you plan on telling people to "FO". Just a suggestion.

Check out this site toward the bottom for the "facts" on the white
Galaga's:

And a Bosconian cabinet is the same shape as a Galaxian and Pac Man,
not a Galaga. It's too narrow.

Also, let him do whatever he wants. I don't know how many times we see
people stripping cabinets just to sell the parts to make more money and
dumping the cabinets. Hell, Lloyd just dumped over 100 cabinets and
that wasn't a crime. He didn't say what they were, so who knows, may
of been 100 great condition Burgertimes.

And, I agree, why should he waste his gas if you want the trade, you
waste the gas. You would figure the same if the shoe was on the other
foot. I know that if I had something that someone wanted to trade for,
they would drive. Likewise, if someone had something that I wanted to
trade for, I would drive.

And just for the record, I love Burgertime. I have 2 working games and
one that needs a PCB, everything else works. The 2 are in the classic
cabinet and the other is in a converted Kaos cabinet. It's a classic
in my book.

I thought part of the fun in collecting and playing video arcade machines was the visual element; lighted marqee, side art, overlay and sound blasting in your face. If you want to put together a nice looking Ms. Pac Man then I would get the correct cabinet. If you just want to play the game, then buy a cheap machine thats already been converted . Their a dime a dozen. A restored Ms. Pac Man in all it's glory, now you have something!
