Ms. Pac-Man Doesn't Sound Right! PCB Repair....

[@smedlap8789]

When you pulled up the stool I thought it was to sit down. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I didn't expect it to open like that.

[@flyyxmke]

I had 5 or 6 of the Ms Pac-Man in the late 90s. They weren’t very popular here. There was a guy in Knoxville that I bought few U-Haul trailers full of games and jukeboxes. it filled a four car garage detached 2 1/2 car garage. My dad got mad at me and told me to get rid of everything. Friends will come over and play all weekend. Out of all that, I only have one jukebox left. Keep up the good work repairing those old things, I had a lot of fun in it.

[@jameskenney5623]

It's clear that you've played a few rounds of ms. Pac man in your life. Great video!

[@Jesselovespinball]

One of my favorite Joe Videos to date , calm down , calm down , I know they aren’t the right style capacitors 😂. Joe you always bring a smile to my face ! Great video !

[@gordonm2821]

I love it when armchair experts are stopped in their tracks 😂

[@DemaGeek]

Wow, the modified version is fast! Fun repair, thanks Joe!

[@patmiller7045]

I'd really like to see you doing the soldering sometime when you are working on these.

[@jumpingjack2605]

Nice repair Joe, your knowledge of the game is impressive

[@ToddFun]

You’re welcome for the meter. I’m so glad to see you using it more! I should make a video on all the features so you and Ron can get the most use of it.

[@branhicks]

I had no idea there was a fast version. That looks way more fun!

I grew up playing this style cabinet at a restaurant in California called Hof's Hut. As soon as we walked in I would start bugging my mom for a quarter. You guys customized one for me several years ago with a 60-in-1 board and I still play it every time I go to my parent's house. The only difference is now I don't need a quarter!

[@kbramlett6877]

You should still bug your mom for a quarter just for old time's sake.

[@kbramlett6877]

A perfect cherry board is 14,600 points and a perfect strawberry board is 14, 800. Also, I prefer the speed chip. Over the years, I have noticed a ton of Pac-Man cabinets converted to Ms. Pac-Man. This might be one because I saw just Pac-Man on the PCB.

[@kenlanier2131]

Ms Pacman, Dig Dug, Galaxia, Defender are my favorites.

[@timmooney7528]

Radials are a sign of the times. They're easier to find. The folks building new tube amps from scratch are building turret boards to utilize radial caps over axial caps.

[@RayR]

I really enjoy hanging out and watching your videos. Keep them coming.

[@00Mandy00]

40 years! Thanks for the reminder. 😅 I remember watching my friend play it in an arcade. We were both well out of high school by then.

[@williamnutley5509]

Thanks for the video Joe! You guys enjoy the weekend!

[@buddhistsympathizer1136]

Great job on the repair . . . but that game speed? Crazy . . .

[@kriztov265]

Come on now Joe the cardboard is clearly there to keep the overspray off of the monitor when you respray the coin door........... :) :) :)

[@ISLEOVUE]

nice camera work, and great repair. Another happy customer 😃

[@williamcooper2368]

JOE now don't get to EXCITED.❤️

[@LyonsArcade]

I couldn't help it!

[@Flexin010]

My brother and i always played this with fast turned on the snes version!

[@Zerbey]

A cheap set of lock picks would make short work of those old wafer locks, I've picked a few in my time! Save you having to mangle the coin doors.

[@williamcooper2368]

Pizza hut 🍕 was PONG for me.

[@3vi1J]

Informative and entertaining, as usual. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@MrRobbiepee]

Howdy from London

[@LyonsArcade]

Hello!

[@B_MAD_24]

I just drilled out the lock on my puck bowler to get in it but pryed the back of the back box to get into the back.

[@kenlanier2131]

Pizza Hut version Trademark Lyons Arcade Hek yeah!!! I support that.

[@flatulentguy]

when i was a kid in the 80's we called it pizza hut pac-man and showbiz pizza pac-man, of those cocktail games my favorite was Joust

[@BaccarWozat]

All the Showbiz Pizzas I ever visited had only upright arcade cabinets.

[@joystickricksherrell774]

Nice work brother 👏

[@irieman442]

Joe has a serious case of PacMan Fever!! Nice job

[@carlw.8671]

Is 500 $ a good price for a mrs. Pacman cocktail table? Has crt? Pcb good soundboard good... overall good condition for the year

[@PlumGurly]

Well, testing old caps can be misleading. Sometimes they test higher, but not because they are holding more. They are leaky. The meters base the test on time, and if it takes longer to charge, it must be larger, right? Not necessarily. Sometimes you have leakage, making it take longer. It takes longer to fill a bucket with a hole. The 330 and the 10s probably caused all the noise as they did nothing. The others were likely failing as their values were drifting. Too high can be leaky as I said. Maybe sometimes too low will climb back up if they were not being used for a long time, but not always.

[@davidgrimes1854]

I would like to see the repair task of the joy stick if you can. Thanks

[@PlumGurly]

I'd say the ones on the edge of the board. I've seen that in another video. But yeah, replace them in a group.

[@indydriver80]

It's unreasonably thrifty to not let the best arcade restore guys in the US clean up your game. It's worth making it look as good as it plays.

[@UFighterX]

You can get sentimental with the damage

[@ExFobtAddict]

Give Joe something to fix & it will be returned with a high score to beat! That should keep your customer busy! Nice work as always 👊

[@ovalteen4404]

Ms Pac Man may be the most popular game, but speed-hacked Ms Pac Man seems to be the most popular variant.

[@tattoomaniacsalina]

I wonder how to fast speed mode compares to the "pac booster, always on" option in the home console version. (I had it for genesis)

[@hardlucknate6769]

This game was a proud supporter of breast cancer awareness and it still is I think

[@elitster]

Awesomeness!!!

[@scottbrady7499]

0:16:00 i sometimes wonder what "the uninitiated" think when Ron says "microfared." he used to gripe about all the comments that would correct 'uf." now it's a kind of psychedelic kick during an evaluation or restoration

[@ElectroCurmudgeon]

i can close my eyes and see that in a pizza hut. not sure what i called it before but i think of those as cocktail tables. poor thing sounds like a sick tugboat.

[@timitbiscuit3620]

Need to eat all the ghosts and fruit or your not going to get high score. :) I try for purple dots on 1 guy. Not too hard at fast speed. When I was a kid there was no fast speed and getting past red dot screen pretty much made you town hero. LOL. I old now and don't really care about the high scores anymore. :) At 5 guys i probably play for like 3 hrs. LOL.

[@waynegram8907]

So the problem was the bad capacitors causing that horrible humming noise?

[@kenlanier2131]

Oh my Ears!!!! LOL

[@jasonsteverson4609]

Hey Joe!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Hey Jason!

[@Vamptonius]

Where you goin' with that soldering gun in your hand?

[@timmooney7528]

How does that fan get adequate airflow? Even if there's a hole through the bottom, I'd imagine the clearance under the table wouldn't be enough.

[@BaccarWozat]

It's the Playstation 1 way, also known as the wrong way.

[@eDoc2020]

They don't need much airflow.

[@chadhartsees]

I thought my computer broke at 6:30 but it turns out it was the machine.

[@timgouine9844]

Joe can you get your brother Ron to show his face . So we all can see what he looks like.

[@overthemountain90]

Did Ms. Pac-man divorce Pac-Man and keep his name for clout? Anyway, great video as usual.

[@w00tDr]

Is pretzel a fruit? What about pretzel with ketchup?

[@crunchyfrog555]

Is it fair to say "it's broke"? Seriously though, back in the day when my mum and dad had a pub and we'd rent arcade machines, these were most often referred to as tabletops. Silly term.

[@EsotericArctos]

uF, micro Farad, whatever. We all know what you mean. Technically the character is the greek letter "mu" which represents micro, but who really cares. Some call Pico Farad "puff". I don't know why some people get so hung up on that sort of thing.

[@Vamptonius]

I told you, but you wouldn't listen.

[@matthewrivera5923]

What happened to Ron? Doesn't he usually take over in the videos to play the games once you fix them, Joe?

[@carlstanland5333]

Who else said “microfarad” in their head? 🙋‍♂️

[@rich9412]

Joe, do you sell monitor chassis? ICan I shoot you an email? Thanks

[@williamcooper2368]

I know whats wrong. IT'S BROKE ❤

[@lileveretteyoakumiii]

Yodelayheehoo

[@LyonsArcade]

Yodelayheehoo!!!
