My Ms. Pac-man painting is moving along
Last time I had written about my Ms. Pac-man re-stenciling progress I had just finished patching my cabinet. The next major block was to figure out the spray gun factor and I have learned a lot over the last week or so. (more…)
Pinball Expo 2008 Super Auctions Notes

Ever seen a set of Ms. Pac-man Stencils?
I was lucky enough a number of weeks back to acquire a set of Ms. Pac-man stencils from a private collector for a good price.

Ms. Pac-man bezel differences
I had made a formal request for photos of anyone who has bought a Two-Bits reproduction Ms. pac-man glass bezel so I could do a comparison of the original verses the re-print, kind of like I did for the Ms. Pac-man marquee artwork comparison. The photos are in, and the post won’t be nearly as long, but here are some of the differences. (more…)
