Holy Cow - that is the best looking Baby Pac I have ever seen. Amazing job of restoring one of the most unique games around. The amount of care your team takes shows in the work. Blown away!

[@tntamusements]

mhurst43 Thanks Mark...I am sure you will enjoy this for years to come!

[@PajamasandMore]

Love this game so much. Looks fantastic!!

[@THELEGENDARYK2]

Great job on the Baby Pac Man it looks terrific! Are you going to do a video on the Neo-Geo gold cab? Keep up the great work!

[@tntamusements]

***** Thanks! Yes...thats coming!

[@paulm7631]

LOVE Baby Pac-Man. Have heard the machine can be quite the headache to maintain though. Would love to have one. Looks great as usual Todd!

[@tntamusements]

Paul M With power rebuilt, it is more reliable at least!

[@Fred_PJ]

Great job! But why "orange ones, of course" and not yellow LEDs lighting Pacman and Ms. Pacman instead?

[@Michael_Geyre]

Fantastic, I wish I'd not live so far away to have same treatment for my baby pacman I'd be very interested in viewing the prototype you mentioned Thanks a lot for sharing all these moments and informations with us

[@ashleyholroyd91]

Wow a excellent restoration 10 out of 10 . TNT have out done themselves once again.

[@tntamusements]

Ashley Holroyd Thanks Ashley!!

[@skyway73]

Ahh, pinball and Pac-man. Who could want more?? I've got to play one of these one day, great video and very informative. The machine came out great :)

[@tntamusements]

skyway73 It certainly looked alot different than when we started!

[@emilezwang]

Played it allot at the 80ties! ;-) Love to buy a game from T.N.T.! You are so unreal!!

[@louiegianni9344]

instablaster.

[@AnalogX64]

I've seen many of your restoration videos and man...you guys just raised the quality level with this one. Worth every bit of whatever you charge to do this. PS: Last time I actually seen and played this, was between 1982-1983 when I was living in Greece.

[@tntamusements]

AnalogX64 Thanks!! This overhaul cost $980 and customer supplied the side art, control panel overlay and playfield overlay. We swapped out the playfield with an extra we had.

[@ackerapple608]

You mention BPM often having right flipper ball launch diode issues. I have that issue now. The ball just launches right away. Trying to fix, wonder what diode to buy and how to know if diode for sure

[@tntamusements]

The computer automatically launches the ball after a few moments...it's in the program just in case the diode breaks off

[@ackerapple608]

TNT Amusements Inc, yup it launches with no wait, I want to fix so it DOES wait. I’m chasing info to replace diode as diode is still there and not visually damaged. I’ll just trust you and replace it

[@tntamusements]

I found a service bulletin on ipdb.org that shows wiring of this switch. Look at this. Also, try completely unsoldering one side of the switch ad see if it still does it (meaning something else other than the switch is the issues) www.ipdb.org/files/125/Bally_1982_Baby_Pac_Man_Two_Service_Bulletins_April_1983_see_second_page.pdf

[@ChescoYT]

Love your work & videos man! You keep the childhood fantasies alive!

[@tonyjefford8449]

I have to say im not a big fan of pinball but never seen one of these kind. So much more could be done with this concept. You guys really do an impresive job. I so love watching these vids they are a great break in my day. And there are some very lucky owners out there. Maybe one day I might get one. But I find it hard to see pinballs but that one looked really cool. You dont see stuff like that now.

[@tntamusements]

Tony Jefford The days of designing and putting into production something like this are over for sure!

[@andyaceswe]

Babypacman feels like before pinball 2000. Great idea. Good working there. How much was it.

[@tntamusements]

Andreas AndYAce We retail the machine for $1899...this was a customer overhaul...whichw as $980.

[@andyaceswe]

Maybe the best looking baby in da states :)

[@loretano]

I used to love this game when I was a kid. They had it at the Chuck-e-Cheese in Penfield NY, Awesome!

[@tntamusements]

loretano It's still a good one!

[@loretano]

Thank you sir. Love your videos. You have a profession one could only dream of

[@TheKGB]

Question..Can you actually wash the play field with water? I guess I am confused about that...wont it ruin the electronics underneath? I have to put a new overlay on my Baby Pac Man too...

[@tntamusements]

you can use water in a limited way...we find the best cleaner for playfields is the automotive GO JO...original formula....it not only gets everything clean, it does not hurt your hands down the road

[@TheKGB]

Thanks! I also tried to user your web email on your site and it does not work...was gonna call you today about what replacement bulbs to use for my baby pac man..can find the correct ones anywhere! grrrr

[@davidkurzdorfer6402]

p

[@Fortuna1]

Had a horrible life this poor playfield Was a excellent restore for this great pinball hybrid game Note: other similar is Granny and the gators, has a similar gameplay system

[@tntamusements]

FortunaChan Yes, another back from the dead!

[@markchatt4197]

I noticed on your video when your testing baby Pac-Man, when you go down the tunnel I noticed baby Pac-Man didn’t slide down on the screen to show your going to the pinball game, my machine is does the same thing and doesn’t show. Is there any way to fix this? Thx, Mark

[@Nightenstaff]

That Baby Pac looks AMAZING! Incredible work for sure. Richie's video is great. He's such a ham.

[@tntamusements]

Nightenstaff Thanks! And Richie is lots of fun to be around!

[@lylejohnson1093]

All the bulbs remind me of the four sided Fair Play score board in the gym. It use one of the 40s bulbs and they would burn out at times.

[@twistedwhiskers8776]

For the light bulb sockets use tweezers

[@detonator2112]

Here's some playing tips for this machine. Since I didn't have access to the real machine (which is truly a misunderstood classic... fantastic strategic arcade game) I had to use PinMAME and VPX. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpexcouOjN2jqac

[@tntamusements]

Thanks!

[@Sonic321master]

How rare is it to find a Baby Pac-Man Pinball/Arcade machine, I play it on VPX Pinball game, but not in real life.

[@bojatr1]

hi Todd, i'm gonna be contacting you after pandemic is lifted. I have a cosmetically like-new Baby PacMan Pinball that powers on fine. But there's a green screen in the top monitor and the sounds is very low or non-existant and does not work when pressing 1 or 2 players

[@Damon0306]

Looks fantastic! Awesome! I'm sorry I might have missed it, but does the pinball playfield use LEDS or normal bulbs?

[@tntamusements]

Damon0306 Playfi9eld below is ordinary 555 bulbs

[@PigDan]

I love this video and channel! Just found this channel and it is amazing! Great work! :D

[@tntamusements]

Glad you liked our video and glad you like us!

[@PigDan]

TNT Amusements Inc Yeah, these videos are well made. Your guys work is amazing and interesting! Keep up the good work!

[@MisterWin]

Love that The Naked And Famous song playing at the beginning of the video.

[@tonyurmate]

I love that machine and you guys did a great job restoring it. My dad had the same machine in his work shop going back quite a while ago and I don't know what ever happened to it,I think he may have been fixing it for someone I can't remember. I still have a pacland board and I just wanted to know was their a dedicated cabinet for that game? or was it a conversion because we had the game in a cocktail machine. Thanks guys and great video.

[@tntamusements]

Anto H. Pacland did have a dedicated cabinet...I had two over the years. It was a sleek slightly smaller design.

[@BobbieBees]

The memories......... all those years ago back in Toronto, I worked for a few video game companies servicing equipment. One of the companies I worked for loved putting two games into one cabinet. Normally what would happen is I'd install four, 4PDT relays to switch the the joystick, buttons, coin switches and speakers between the two different CPU boards. Anyways, Bob bought a few Baby Pacmans and Granny and the Gators at auction, they were cheap, and boy did he love cheap, so why not? He decided that I could easily add a second game into the machines. Oh, what a disaster this turned into. No matter how much I tried to explain to him that Granny and the Gators and Baby Pacman both used a scanned matrix to read all of the switches and that I would have to add in enough relays to separate the strobe and scan lines for each scanned switch, he wasn't about to listen. I never saw Bob so pissed off before. But he eventually gave up and just stuck them all in the Holiday Inn's in the Toronto area.

[@WatchDragon]

A cover of pac man fever by Buckner and Garcia! lol

[@andrewvincent5472]

Tips hat!..

[@plushbatfan]

The main playfield is multiplied by ten.

[@JohnDoe-uq3mx]

right.

[@ChromeFamily]

Never seen this in real life

[@tntamusements]

They did make 7000 of them...I am sure you will come across one

[@redflux713]

i wanted it

[@tntamusements]

none in stock now!

[@SagePatrynXX]

don't think I've ever seen this one. (wow) and I've been on gog since 2011 or something I still know people who left it when it was a subscription based game site. Not anymore :) Thank god for Witcher. without whom gog would never exist. Same company.. and someone who really wanted some games that sorta ran on Dos Box to actually run that way using their own tweaked Dos Box. I could get some games to run on Dos Box but it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Oh but memories of The Beast Within (FMV) Gabriel Knight 2 (never liked the 3rd one that um some idiot we know Tim Curry? did the voice on that smh oh he's fun in Colour of Magic eh don't think I should spoil that for you but if you like some Monty Python it's a must.

[@SagePatrynXX]

drooling over a V wing lovely

[@tntamusements]

Lee Bartholomew Great Game

[@SagePatrynXX]

TNT Amusements Inc it's unique so therefore great game :) certainly glad you had some spare parets around. although the next time around I assume you'll have to use the other playfield eventually. or sell it ;)

[@tntamusements]

Lee Bartholomew We junked perhaps 5 of these machines over the years---too many issues, etc....and the parts (flipper brackets, etc) can be used on other games.

[@JerseyDevils21]

kermit

[@suelee3391]

Many Namco machines have “GAME OVER” displayed in attract mode.

[@tntamusements]

Yes...thats true...
