"Bring Back Ms Pac?" by Joe
Schlageter ofKentuckiana Vend-
ing, Evansville, Indiana.
Replace it. Standard edge con-
nector available most anywhere,
no more wires to solder than the
average control panel.
So, BRING BACK YOUR OWN
Ms
PAc!
Notwithstanding the reasons to
manufacture Ms Pac again or not,
Joe can barely keep enough of
them going to satisfy the demand.
Joe!!! You're a technician, bring
back the ones you have!

Any basic switcher will power up
a Ms Pac board. I use a switcher
on the bench for Ms Pac boards
unless I am fixing the on-board
supply itself.

Wire direct to the board with a
separate connector (ala Galaga ).

(Please add $3 s/h. Thank you!)
Please do not glob solder on the
PC board edge traces. In fact, the
only pins that burn up are the
power pins , wire around them
and add a Molex connector.
INTHE END
Spend some time on cosmetics
and you have a new game.
In fact , there are many Ms Pac
boards sitting around unused,
make your own conversion kit:
Ms Pac board, power supply,
cabinet of your choice, simplest
of panels, overlay and marquee ...
voila! A new game.
