Still hoping I can get photos from Walt
I called Walt today and left another message. I just let him know that I would call him one more time before I left him alone. I may have put him on the spot, asking him to take those photos, but that is why I told him I would barter with him time. I could give him web services for his website if needed, so he was getting something in return for his time. But either way, he hasn’t gotten back to me, and neither did Gary …
Professor Pac-man ghost finished
Finished up the orange ghost tonight. I have pieces of the Professor Pac-man on the overlay finished, but he is the last piece and I will be able to post an image of the finished piece here, maybe still sometime this weekend.
Cleaning Dig Dug control panel
Took a moment to setup and spray the Dig Dug control panel tonight with the Orange cleaner and degreaser.

Progress Professor Pac-man cpanel artwork

Mappy game in Warsaw IN
I have been monitoring this auction for a complete Mappy game in Warsaw Indiana. Only two an a half hours north of here, this is the closest I have ever seen any Mappy game. Now, obviously, I want this for my Jr. Pac-man conversion. As I have gone along, and talking more with Joe in Chicago and Richard in PA, I think I want my Jr. Pac-man in the original cabinet if at all possible. Right now I have enough projects to keep me busy so I

Professor Pac-man
I didn’t know too much about the game, other than it was trivia based game with questions and answers. Reading klov, it says that the game had over 500 unique answers, which really isn’t a ton. Midway thought this was going to be the next big type of game, but it flopped immediately, and only 400 were ever made.
Not a type of game that appealed to me, Pac-man based or not, I didn’t figure that I would …
