I am an arcade repair tech The controller leafs usually just need cleaning with a metal nail file. They sell the control panel overlay (CPO) sticker replacement for about $30 on ebay. You can Open the panel with a couple spring straps accessing inside above the coin door on both sides of the panel. Need any other help just respond :)
Thank you!

This guy is worthless he needs you to do everything for him
I need a Narc cabinet
@@propicker There are entire cabinet decals to cover the whole sides and front. You just have to clean up the sides fill any holes or dents and have it smooth and ready for application. I just watched someone do it here on UA-cam. I posted the link to you, but UA-cam removes links I think....
My favorite arcade game was Space Harrier. I was addicted to that game. Every time I got a break at my job, as a teenager, I would rush down to the pizza joint in inside the mall that I worked at, grab a pizza by the slice and a Coke and proceed to eat pizza between levels. If I had a chance to buy an actual Space Harrier arcade console, that would be the one.
Damn! This Ms. Pac-Man is so cool...You should do a series of videos here on the restoration progress! That would be so fun to watch! I always admired your fearlessness in buying things that are huge like that! Ever since you purchased that massive blow up dinosaur in that Goodwill a few years back. And yes, I have been watching you guys since day one and watched you get to be a massive reseller! It helps that I learned a lot from you too! Thank you and both of you keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for being with the channel for so long Alan!
Awesome video, love the arcade game!!!
That Arcade machine is one year younger than our marriage. :) I'd love to see you clean it up and get it going. I loved to play Tetris so that would be my retro machine. Well done.
I love that black crow framed picture on the table. 😊
Dragons Lair would be my dream arcade cabinet. Game was so hard and broke me as a kid in the 80s LOL
I love watching you guys
Restore and keep it . What an awesome find .
Restore it & keep it for yourself. Love it! 🇨🇦 NB CANADA 🇨🇦
You guys have awesome subscribers! In the comments I see people trying to think of ways to save you money, amazing! On other reselling channels I see comments calling the channel owners scumbags, con artists, scammers, cheap, telling them that they ripped the person off and they should have paid more for things. Its really refreshing to see comments from viewers that realize this is how you pay your bills, its literally your job and your business. Of course you want to save money and get awesome deals! I'm sure you get the occasional rude/stupid comment. Just an observation. Great score on the Ms. Pac-Man.🤯 You guys are funny and nice people, I enjoy your videos. I like seeing good people succeed and love what they do. Thank you!👏👍✌️
Thank you for the kind words!
that's just due to subscriber amount, all channels get ruined eventually, usually it's within 6 months of them accepting corporate sponsors
@@OwO---Drunk_Seulgi---OwOdefinitely a correlation for that, but someone like froggy flips would be an exception.
She Liked Double Dragon 🐉 back in the day.... I bet what she was talking about... they use to have em at a local Bowling alley around here.... you was on teams with the person beside of you... Maybe Ninja Turtles 🐢 or Mortel Combat for me... or Cruisn USA or the new ones at Dave and Busters... or the Mario Kart... 4 seater... would be awesome to have in a house.... NBA JAM..
I started collecting in 08 and converted my garage to a full on arcade with 33 games. I got many dead machines that worked fine with cleaning connections. I eventually got into full monitor rebuilds and a rejuvinator to revive, or kill, a tube. Spend a little time cleaning stuff. I saw a mention of leif switches, Google it and see if they have leif or micro switch controller and buttons. If it's leif I'd leave it, that's the authentic part for the machine. A lot of people are butchering vintage machines to make an lcd 60 in 1 trash can and you can get decent monitirs from them. On my 83 Atari Star Wars I did a mechanical restoration and left the outside of the game worn although it was home use a good portion of its life it still had public use damage
That's super cool to have 33 games setup in your garage! I've seen some pretty awesome setups on UA-cam, just unfortunate we don't have the available space for something like that. Now if a virtual on cabinet ever makes it's way into my hands I'll have to make some space. I appreciate the insight on the Ms. Pacman machine!
Great yard sales and items! Once you fix that Ms. Pac Woman she will be good to go (I know it’s Ms. PAC Man) , but she’s a girl 😂😂😂 It will be up to you what you decide to do with it. I think you should live your dream and find more if you get deals. Have a wonderful week ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Pro tip: when buying an arcade game always try and check inside of it to make sure everything’s secure in it, and check for bugs,termites,etc. as that would be a pass. But, for $50 that was a steal in parts alone. Give it a good wipe down, inside and out, vacuum inside, add new leg levelers, new t-molding, new cpo, new fluorescent bulb and starter and should be good to go for now. Everything you need for that game on the web is on arcade shop. Good score!
I appreciate the advice!
@@propickernot a problem
I'd probably want to own NBA Jam. Whatever it is, it's gotta be a game that you ultimately can't finish. I'd hope to want to keep playing it for years and years.
Great find and video!
I just scored a jackpot for video games! I got video game books on how to play and beat the games. I got Wii and Wii U games and consoles. Xbox 360 console. PS3 console and Wii and Wii U games and 3DS games. And game cube games and a game cube. Misc controllers. All for free!!!
Awesome deal on the Ms Pacman. Even if you can't fix the joystick, you can get a new one for less than $40. You can get a new overlay for the control panel for less than $30. The monitor is usually the main issue, but yours looks like it is working great and has good color. Couldn't tell of it had the t-molding, but that should be pretty cheap. You need some new leveling feet on all four corners. Again pretty easy and cheap fix. If you want to go all out you can order new vinyl side art for a couple hundred bucks. Same for the marquee maybe another $50. I've seen them go for a couple grand all restored.
Great show! How have I been missing this?? Well, I'm here now though! Keep em coming 🖐️🤠
Thank you!
Definitely restore and keep. Great find 👏🏼
killer scores, definitely the fun part of reselling finding great items
Yeah 50 I'd of been on it too... lil reached out... but I've put more than 50 in quarters in a machine like that at a Gino's Pizza in Wayne WV. I probably would've ran a chord out and checked it... what people say and is... is 2 different things... probably thought you wouldn't take time to bring it back if it didn't work.. Great Pick Up would Love to have one in our garage
I like that pac man game machine. Lots of cool stuffs.
SCORE!!! Awesome 🤩
Restore! Awesome ❤
Ms Pac-Man for 50. Great add for a backdrop in the shop. 😊
I bought a coin op pool table for $125 and it had $650 in quarters in it. Sometimes things just work out.
That's awesome!
been flipping since 2019 part time best moment and exciting times is finding those rare finds. Hard to hold in that excitement lol.
Well worth $50.00 for the Ms. Pacman. It could be just a loose wire for the joystick. Check the grounds that hook around the Joystick.
Awesome finds. ❤😊
J- Love your hair in the braid, also all your bangles.
Thank you!
Thanks for another video adventure.
Hey Dustin! Please be careful when you open up that Ms Pac-Man. The monitors need to be discharged prior to servicing. I’m not talking about a little shock here. These can be fatal. It’s not hard to discharge and there’s tons of UA-cam videos on how to do it.
Whatever you decide, nothing beats a real arcade cabinet running original hardware.
Arcade1ups are a poor substitute. I’m willing to bet you don’t even play the one you have all that much. The controls are terrible, games don’t look right on an LCD, latency issues, and the feel of the cabinet is just cheap. I had one for 2 weeks before selling it. Nothing beats the real thing.
Also people telling you you can sell this restored for $3000 with decals are out of their minds. Ms Pac-Man machines are very very common in this hobby
Hey, I appreciate all the advice. I heard about the monitors holding a charge issue. I'll definently check out how to discharge them safely.
Heck yeah I would restore and keep Mrs pac-man. I would at least keep for awhile to play and then trade up (like Barter Kings) towards my dream arcade machine. Something to think about. It could actually work, it may take a year or two but then you would have your dream arcade.
Hell yeah restore it. Awesome find
Answer is simple. If the return on the space needed to restore is greater than that of inventory turnover you will lose out on, restore it. If that’s not the case, resell as is. There’s really nothing else to consider if your business is reselling and turning profits.
I got my stuff today just got back home when it came love it thanks 👍❤❤
Thanks Debby!
I used to have a Ms. Pac Man machine...great times!
I would let someone else restore it as you are so busy. You got such a good deal on it to be able to let it go for a profit. ❤
Great finds. Enjoyed the video!
Hey Dustin if it were me I'd restore it make it beautiful again, and they really aren't that hard to work on and there are parts galore for them. I live in Lafayette,In if you wanna flip it for double or triple your money though I'll drive up and come get it! Just so ya know. But getting 3 maybe 4 arcade games is on my bucket list. Original Mario Brothers,Galaga,DigDug,Moon Patrol, and of course Mrs Pac-Man as well. I vote restore and enjoy it.😊
I wish we had garage sales like this where I live - unfortunately we have over a dozen dealers that absolutely demolish garage sales here - they will often ring ahead if the seller has advertised the sale with pictures and ask the sellers to hold items for them - we had a garage sale at my mother in laws place when she passed it was advertised to start at 7am we had dealers outside at 5am waiting to get in - fortunately I knew most of them so when they tried there tricks like bundling $50 dollars worth of stuff and asking would I do the whole lot for $10 I was all over it - a lot of them left empty handed because I would deliberately up the price if I new who they were 👍a lot of normal people left that day with some great bargains- I even went as far as dropping the price for an item to somebody when a dealer had just offered me $5 more (while he was still there) he stormed out 😂😂great video keep up the good work
Even as a flipper myself, I really cant stand dealers like that. And then they act all indignant that you didnt go cheap for them because they think you are doing yourself a favor by getting rid of it for next to nothing.
Another great video Dustin!
I would definitely keep it, or sell it on as is. I could see that being a really costly and time consuming refurb job.
But really cool find and I definitely think you have enough room that you need to keep it… 😉
Nautical themed rooms bigtime cool Boat Mirror Nice!
Keep it!!!!
Donkey kong or crystal castle... or any pinball machine. 😂🎉 good pu on mirror Jess🎉 restore it... hard to fine as time goes on.❤
$50 for a Ms Pac Man is the deal of a lifetime. I’ve been buying arcade machines for 20 years, complete original machines are never that cheap.
Yeah, I was floored when he said it.
I guess it depends where you live. I’ve been collecting and restoring arcades for over 20yrs and I’ve turned down so many free Ms pac man machines that were complete and working because here in Florida there everywhere and the demand is low. I think I have enough parts laying around to build three machines. None the less good find at a yard sale.
Gonna cost around $1800 to restore it back to really nice condition.
@@tom11zz884worth it to the right collector.
Dude restore it. Even if you need to pay some one 500 bucks for some repairs. A nice Mrs pac man cab for 550 is a crazy deal. Keep it bro
Back in the 80's they had the table top Pack Man games and Centipede games. You could there and play while waiting for your pizza at Pizza Hut. I was 16-18 at the time and it was a great unwind.
Oh that's cool, we had space invaders at our pizza hut growing up.
I think I remember you at the arcade when I was a kid, you were the talk of the arcade. lol
I would restore it to 100% keep it in the shop and a quarter machine so you can get quarters.
Thanks for the entertaining video, watching from ND.
Thank you!
Would love an update when you decide on what to do with Ms pac-man:)
Both me and the husband say flip the Ms Pac Man. My husband though says if it's easy to do, fix or replace the joystick. Dream machine for the husband would be a Tempest stand up. I'm either an original Phoenix or I Robot stand up. Grail....Elvira pinball table.
Ok you are realistic and don’t low ball so I’ll give you a sub 👍
Thank you!
Man what a steal $50.00 for a Ms Pac-Man arcade game
Restore and keep it 🎉
Let's gooo.
I rather have a pinball machine. But that is cool. Who wouldn't like that one! I would fix it if it didn't cost to much. Let us know what you decide to do with it.
Cool pink hair 😄
The seller practically gives away the games and you still jew him down on his lower than low prices.Jeez man
Are you talking about the low margin board games?
I got lucky with my working ms. Pacman machine. FREE!
Nice!
Machine is not bad . Keep it
RESTORE! Best arcade game ever!
Awesome ❤
EPIC! Defo restore yourself, it's actually an investment now with retro game stores opening up everywhere, pop culture shows everywhere bringing in the masses etc.! People love renting the entire machine for shows like that! Seriously it's a money maker.
Yea there’s a shop in my area called phoenix games in concord, ca. Been there for a long time. They have a section filled with arcade games. Maybe about 15+ more or less. Very cool though if you can get a room dedicated to it👌 lol
RESTORE!!!!! and play the heck out of it 😂
Two games I would own are Marble Madness and Crystal Castles by Atari
Damn bro $50 for FAST Ms.Pacman.....deal of the century
4:29 not sure about the one in the vid. But raggedy ann dolls can go for a good amount depending on which one it is. Either way they sell fairly quick.
Wow, you got a great deal. You could sell it as is for $800 easily.
I would not have ben comfortable giving him only 50 dollars, lets be honest you stole that!!
He obviously just wanted it gone. It had probably been sitting in his barn for years from the condition of it. I'm probably going to sink a few hundred in it and keep it so I'll have no profit from it. I don't see it as stealing.
@@propicker no obviously not stealing, and I wouldn't pass that opportunity up either! good buy.
OCD 9AM on point garage sale opening - Jess: "Oh excuse me mam, I think you dropped a screw there" - Me thinking: Oh yeah, they got a screw loose. hahaahaha
We love your content is so unique
Thank you!!
They sell for $ 5,000.00 CDN over here in Montreal Canada
Theirs always something I always say for me 😂❤
Restore it to keep. My arcade games would be Simpsons ,Tmnt and Time crisis
Crazy Taxi for me, but I would also still really like to have my own DDR machine
Happy Labor Day ! I order 2 things can you mail it tomorrow wed I'm on trip and I won't to be home when it comes will this be ok ? I no post office closed today .I thank.
Hey Debby, happy labor day! We'll have to check because we have to ship by the day ebay says to ship by.
Oh and thank you!
@@propicker 👍
Restore the arcade game! 😊
Definitely restore Ms pacman if you like the game.. the ultimate game machine for me would be bomb jack, spent many happy hours on that game.. those glass candy or sweets as we call them in the uk I'd love to have them but the shipping would possibly cost a lot.. another great video guys..
Ms Pac man is more rare than the Pac man arcade, you scored big time bro!🤘
As always brilliant video and I love the mirror Jess got,as for the Pac-Man I’d say restore it
You should get in contact with the 8 bit guy as he repairs these things and he owns an arcade
Centipede the best ever. Fix it...... you can do it.
I was yellin at the TV when you put that Pac Man graphics side down on a bare truck bed LOL
Sweet find!
They are worn to crap anyway. They sell decal kits on ebay to replace them. It looks ugly when worn out.
Hi guys big fan of your vids never miss one , please restore that arcade machine .🔥
🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you!
I'd restore it and keep it. I'm a collector and have gotten a few for $50 usually not working but a few working only one for free working so far.
Mine would be asteroids 😊
where do you recommend sourcing boxes to ship golf clubs?
Ebay or Amazon. We have some examples in our Amazon affiliate store link in the description. But, feel free to buy anywhere of course. 6x6x48 and 4x4x36 are the primary boxes and 12x12x36 for golf bags.
@@propicker thanks so much for the info! I live in a big golf area and find clubs all the time. I've just always avoided them because of boxes and where to find them.
@propicker just found 23 brand name (PING, Callaway, King Cobra, TaylorMade) irons for $1 each. Paid $20 for the lot. Easy money!! Never thought to look out for golf clubs til I saw how much you were making off of them! Thanks!
Nick pickup on the golf clubs . Easiest way to turn 10$ bill into 100$
Oh for sure, it's become one of our biggest categories!
JESS! I can't believe you let that old lady beat you into the 9:00 yard sale! If you want to be a serious reseller then you have to be willing to throw elbows in those situations or trip her!
Curious how do you ship your golf clubs? What size box do you use?
4x4x36 and 6x6x48 are the boxes we use for clubs and we ship via ups ground. You can find examples of a lot of what we use shipping wise in our Amazon affiliate shop link in the video description.
I wonder if those candies would break my teeth? 😂
Keep it for those rainy days
Yes
Golf clubssssssssss
I love Ms. Pac-Man. My dad and I used to play the tabletop arcade whenever we went to Pizza Hut. It was a good memory. If I had the money, I'd fix it up to keep.
I loved Ms Pacman. My dream game would be X-men Streetfighter game...or Dig Dug, cuz I loved that one too. 🤗
oh yea, dig dug was awesome
Sale the machine, you guys have so much going on in your life! ❤️
Agree 😊
