@swdvader: Sounds about right. Once you buy from Two Bits, you are on your own. They could care less about how their product holds up or the customer.

Purchase 2 overlays for class of 1981 Both cracked after about a month. Tried to get help no such luck.

Hey Jeff, thanks for fixing the links – much better and provides some good reading.

I'm trying to get my head around the whole saga at this point, as I need to find a good, clean and "new" looking Ms. Pac CPO and marquee. I picked up a Ms. Pac a few weeks ago and mine are "less than good".

Thanks,
Whitney

Those links to those threads talking about Two Bits and their 'quick buck' products are now changed to the new 'arcade-museum' url.

The links in the post are invalid (I assume they broke when the KLOV forums were upgraded). Can anyone post a website or contact info for twobits? A google search didn't turn up much.

There is nothing wrong with the Two Bits CPO. I have one and it’s perfect. Don’t believe this, it’s not 100% true – the info is old. I bought a repro from someone else and it was garbage.

I have heard that Two Bits did correct later runs of their Ms. Pac-man CPO artwork.

Fact remains, that Two Bits is a company that is concerned only with money and not quality of product. We have shown through multiple artwork items for Ms. Pac-man that their artwork is inaccurate, and therefore lower quality. This casts doubt on the quality of every piece of artwork they produce for Pac-man related games, Galaga, and any of their other licensed properties.

High caliber? Do operators care about accuracy of artwork? I was under the understanding that anything to help a machine make a profit, even if the artwork looks remotely similar like this Ms. Pac-man.

It sure does have that Chinese feel, in that it feels like an imitation but it isn't nearly the same…

And Namco gear is usually the high caliber stuff for us as operators, that panel overlay may as well have been made in a Chinese factory for $2.
