My Ms. Pac-man Stenciling Progress

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. Surprise surprise, they were waiting for me when I returned from Toronto this past weekend.

There have been plenty of great tutorials written by other arcade collectors on the topic of re-stenciling artwork on arcade game cabinets. This article series will incorporate those tips and tricks and specifically apply them to stenciling and restoring a Ms. Pac-man arcade game.

Breaking News: Joymonkey’s Ms. Pac-man Stencil files online at Local Arcade
Color me surpised. Now that it has been nearly seven months, for good reason I thought the collecting community may never have access to Paul Murphy’s (Joymonkey) Ms. Pac-man stencil files. But I was wrong. Today Paul put the Ms. Pac-man stencil files that he built using scanned art, traced and fabricated from scratch, online at Local Arcade.com.
