I am working on a kit for Jr. Pac-man as well, and that one is a little further along. I have vectorized files for the Jr. Pac-man sideart, control panel overlay, kickplate, and bezel. I did all of the files except the bezel myself.

The oversize Jr. Pac-man marquee is about 60+% done. But right now, this is where my stacking order falls for projects

The Glob custom kickplate
Pengo Artwork Kit (Sideart, Control Panel Overlay, Bezel, Marquee)
Secret Complete Custom Project (Hopefully comes to fruition)
Jr. Pac-man Vector

Jr. Pac-man has a whole other set of issues if it is actually printed and this isn’t an exercise in practice:)

I just noticed the you’re working on Jr Pacman as well. I have dreams of completing a Pacman conversion cabinet for my Jr Pac board (which currently lives in my Ms Pac machine, along with Ms Pac). This project is way off in the future, as I’m out of room at home, but I’m always looking out for the artwork (repro or NOS), at an affordable cost.

Chris,

Thanks so much for dropping me a line about this reproduction project. Good to know a couple more collectors that are fans of Pengo. Are you interested in adding your names to my Pengo registry?

Either way, I shot you an email, sounds like you have some good Pengo artwork. I am about 90% through retracing the Pengo right direction for the joystick. I have decided next to move onto the Pengo lettering at the bottom and then nail out the particulars I mentioned on the artwork afterwards.

I have one, possibly 2 NOS CPOs with the roman numerals. I have vectorized a 600 dpi scan of one of them, including the instruction text (didn’t find a perfect font match so I vectorized the font…). Paintshop Pro was used to vectorize and I can make the artwork available, or lend an original CPO to the effort…

Also, my buddy has a nice Pengo with 98% sideart on both sides. I’ve got some initial scans he did, but they need to be rescanned. I’m interested in getting a set of side art as my machine has only one side, and it’s torn. Drop me an email…Thanks.

Oh, and of course, then there is the other control panel overlay with the numerals by the player buttons. (Funny enough, I got to thinking last night and this is the only piece of Pengo art that I don’t have now. I have every other piece of artwork.) Brian Koening still has one of those overlay’s NOS and he pm’d me;

I still have the one unused overlay left that I didn’t sell. I can lend it to you if you’d like. Any way that you can throw me a couple of the repros when you’re finished for lending you mine?

I have one option at least.
