They have these at Costco for $599.
They have a cardboard 2ft tall one at Costco made in China
Restore it bring it back to life :) please
Spoiler alert @1:54.
@@LyonsArcade No. They are now selling near, if not full size Pac-Man consoles that look exactly like this.
@@critterIMHOlike Joe @LyonsArcade said you have a full size cardboard one made in China
Proud owner of this Pac-Man arcade cabinet, thanks Joe!
Great work Joey. While I’m not much of an arcade guy, I still enjoy your videos as you bring em back to life. This looks like a clean fun game for someone’s home room. Thanks for posting.
Hey Joe!!
You can start game, put Pacman in the safe place to adjust everything.
That was the ONLY time I've seen Pac Tmolding come off that easy!!
Joe you got Pac Man to 8.5
Good work.
I would look into the rom images - there's a speedup hack on it. Not sure if that's a physical add-on board or a rom swap.
Saving an original Pac-Man machine? Of course you should do a restoration. Cabinet has some war battle on it. Needs
new levelling feet! Remember them in same game room at Chicago's Union Station next to real pinball machines back in
the day. Nothing wrong with selling an 8 out of 10. Cleaned up and working is good enough for government work Joe.
For an original in that condition KEEP IT ORIGINAL. That’s a rare survivor, save the full restorations for the ones that are already destroyed, converted, and painted over. Lord knows there’s enough of them. Keeping this one fully OG is the right move. Great video Joe!
@@BacktotheMedia Sorry but this is a working shop that does what their customers asks them to do. Your opinion may be valid but theirs will ALWAYS be the final say!
I'm just amused by the 'Hi' written on the dusty screen...and the mallet on the pin in the background. :-)
Pac-man? Never heard of it. Was it popular?😀. Cheers for the vids.
Thanks! we appreciate that
Where do you find this Stuff? I'd love to get into an older Pin Ball machine that I could fix up. Love the channel and you're content is excellent.
Original 1980
1:16 the pinball that has the mallet on the top, with the red yellow green squares on the bottom of the back gladd and the window in the center and the woman laying across the top, it looks like an old 60s maybe 70s space theme.
WHAT is the name of the game and how much is it going to be sold for?
I really want to see this one play. It looks different than anything else I have seen.
It has peaked my interest
You wouldn't take the monitor out of a "working" game...... Never put it past a parts switcher to do that. If the game wasn't getting enough Coins and the broken game was they'd be more than happy to swap components. Never put it past a parts switcher to decommission a perfectly working game.
Has anyone else ever noticed that Joe is more relaxed than Ron is when he does these videos?
Ron's more hyper.
Joe has decided "It's broke!" when people bring things into the shop. It's a relaxing, zen state of mind unlike Ron who wants to know WHY things are broken.
You have to diagnose it either way, Ron.
Joe decreases his anxiety at least 15-20% by letting that go... Of course, it's all broken. We live in a human world!
Joe and Ron just look at the same problem from their own point of view. I think that they both do a fine job when it comes to performing repairs.
At first I thought he had something with his voice, then realized it's just a different person doing this vid.
@@rc-fannl7364 Yeah, Joe does most of the Arcades and detail work on the pinball machines
Damn it, now I have to complain.. Just finished the most recent Dracula video and was like time to get my butt in gear and do something this Sunday! NO! You drop this video and now I will get another close to 40 minutes of laziness!
😂😂😂
The condition of that cabinet ... no brainer to restore it. Just aren't many true originals left.
Joe - one thing on those marquee light bulbs .... if you put LED bulbs in, it'll reduce the heat greatly
30:30 they probably switched to florescent for even lighting. Notice the shadow in the middle of the marquee.
Even though I'm a pinball guy and Pac-Man played a big role in the downfall of pinball, it's a piece of history that needs to be restored.
I still love real pinball not that digital pinball crap
@@2bstiff584 What is the digital pinball crap? Do you mean pinball video games?
@@bricaaron3978 yes video pinball is what I meant to say a video game
@@2bstiff584 You know what could be amazing? VR Pinball with 100% realistic graphics, and a controller that is literally a copy of the front of a pinball machine, with side buttons and plunger.
It would not only allow you to play any pinball game that's ever been made, but to play weird pinball machines that are impractical to actually build, or even machines with "magic"/supernatural effects.
But of course the underlying software would need to have accurate physics that matches reality.
“I don’t have all the answers” - Joe Lyons
Simon understands Joe!!!!
I knew you would! Thanks man
Asteroids in 1979. Atari's most popular game. Poured a couple thousand, easy, in quarters into Asteroids. The Atari logo made it to both Harrison Ford BladeRunner movies. Yes, Save the original Pac Man. It's a slam dunk, someone will buy it.
I can’t believe you didn’t buy that 1920’s classic. 😂.
Is that NeoGeo 2 slot for sale?
Yes it is, Its a 1 slot tho did you watch the neo geo video from a few weeks ago? :)
Pac-man is moving pretty fast. Modded board? Doesn't the original game move slower?
Leaving it as an 8 has it keep some of its charm. Where do you get your leg levelers at?
I was yelling but I guess my mic is broke. I'll try to get another one before next time.
An ex video this weekend heck yeah let's gooooooooo guys love your stuff keep doing what u guys do
I what to see what blue skies pinball looks like being played. Play it Joe ... play it.
It's Broke!
Make it an eight, sell it as as eight. If they want to pay to make it a ten I bet you know a guy.
Many Pac-Men died to bring you this footage.
27:06 There’s 2 Galaga Arcades, Why Is That?
Is there a way to adjust the volume on this 1980 machine? Would be nice to be able to turn off volume so I can play when people are sleeping:)
Yes there's a volume control but it's on the main board, so you have to take the back door off to get to it. Alternately you could unplug the speaker, it's behind the marquee on the front.
Nice Job Joey! That game looks great!
8's are Great! That is a really nice survivor! The last Pac-Man I fixed had the t-molding glued in! It took several days and a lot of patience to get it all out!
used to spend all my misplaced childhood in those Arcades, i used to find those machines fascinating.. just the noise as soon as you used to go in those Arcades used to blow my mind
It was magical 😊
From Zero to Hero, this has been an excellent video! Great work Joe!
Did PacMan always drift to the left, or is the joystick out of adjustment?
He starts out going to the left, it was made that way
Hey Joe 8 is a lucky number!
I forgot about yellow bug bulbs
great vid.... wish you had added in some footage of you actually adjusting the screen controls to see how you were eyeball-ing the levels... without seeing the screen? Were you going to your known "default" positions as you've done so many... or could you see anything from within the back panel? Cheers.
The standard practice in the TV industry is to set up a portable mirror. In this case if their camera has a flip-out display that would also work.
I'll try to include that, the next time
I have an original Pac-Man that I bought from an arcade vendor back in 1994. They were close to changing it to a Ms. Pac-Man and I told them to stop. I gave them $300 for it. I was going to restore it, but decided to leave it original, since it still worked. I did recap the monitor about 20 years ago and it is still going strong. I did install a Two-Bits Multi-Pac board the same time that I did the recap of the monitor, but it is plug-n-play, so it is totally reversible. I always wanted a cabaret version, so I built a MAME Pac-Man cabaret cabinet. They look good side-by-side.
Nice video. Have you ever restored really big or deluxe arcade machines? Something like a Sega R360. Or After Burner Deluxe with motion?
I like how you went to look for the G07 monitor and have dozens on the shelves in the store room. I wish I had extra parts like that. I think I would save the yellow bulbs as original and stash them safely in the back. I would probably switch the LED’s. I think it looks good as a 8. I like that the glass is still original. Now I wish I had the money to buy that and have it shipped to my house!
I just acquired an Original Atari Defender & Galaga in rough shape.
Not sure if I should Plane all the Boards and RePaint them to Original...
Why would anyone here watch expert craftsman repairing a rare nearly priceless arcade game?
I dunno. I enjoy these guys making broke stuff unbroked.
"Keep going Joe! Keep... just right!"
absolutely save it!! Being a amusement machine specialist this sounds like super fun!! can't wait to watch the repair vids.
Blinky Pinky Inky and Clyde would proud🎉
Nice cabinet:)
Nice jukebox and slot machine either side of Ye Olde Pac man too while we wait for Moar Dracula's...
Watching this vid, I had a strange thought. In the 43 years since this cabinet was originally purchased, how many times this game has been played?
Yes.
It probably hard to recoup on a pac-man. but maybe not. The further away from the pandemic prices get back to the way they used to be. But maybe not cause games are slowly disappearing.
That is a beautiful machine in my eyes, yeah she's got some Battle Scars as we all do when we reach this girl's age. but remove the speed hack!!!
Eh... I wouldn't say a florescent bulb is cheaper, other than cheaper to operate the machine. but we're in the future now so slap in some led replacement bulbs and it's fine either way.
It’s got the fast hack on it. Gotta remove that before you sell it. Easy ‘fix’ and makes it original again.
Ive never heard of that game Pacman ?? What type of game is that ? I think that game never went anywhere, it was a total failure.
thats a damn nice example of a Pac.
Who even thought that this game, would inspire a way of life in the 1990's. Eating pills and running around to techno music.
3:50 Man I had the most shty day of the year & watched this & laughed my ass off thanks!
Thank GOD this one hasn't switched to Ms Pac Man..........yet ! 😂❤
I think I missed his initial thoughts. Did he have a hunch on what was wrong prior to his full diagnosis?
Donnie, what’s wrong with this one?
8 or 10 You have to run a buisness. I also say there something important. like an old car, leaving some petina on it says I am original! Good stuff Joe!
Were the original factory bulbs actually yellow?
i remember this game when it first came out it was so popular there is a novelty record call Pac-man fever
The cleaning of the bottom and new t moldings took 30 years off this machine
They could've at least left ya the bad parts, so a real technician like yourselves couldve fixed it.
If you don't know about pac man your not from this planet
Yes, Joe. I completely understand
That's a kids toy from doctor offices in the 70s
Love the channel !! Pac Man ,played that game many times. I prefer Pinball. Wish I had the room for some games.
Mine are not even tens. I’m ok with that. Your machines look like tens to me. Keep up the great work!
I always thought it was PUCK man.
Classic Joe, It's Broke!
Hey I was helping you through the screen by answering your questions when you were adjusting the screen and such. You just need to turn your hearing aids up higher. loi j/p man. Great job on partially restoring this great and iconic Pac-Man cabinet!
Thanks for the help, I heard you!
Hard to imagine this game is 43 years old...
Wasent that pac man game too fast? He was moving way faster then my nintendo version
There's a normal speed, and a fast version, most people seem to prefer the fast one that we sell to
Thank you for another great video.
haha 4.01 mins i think i had one of these when i was 3 Haha
What you have right there is an audio game.
I think the fact they had to change the name from "Puck-Man" for America is hilarious.
They probably knew us kids that thought we were sooooo funny would have scratched/altered the 'P' in "Puck-Man" to an 'F'.
played for hours on those here in the uk
@5:17 Thanks for sharing
GREAT CONDITION!...love the videos,... very good to watch and learn from you guys!.
i also have a "PAC-MAN" cabaret style... hello MIKE" where ever you are...
of course we would like to see another little slice of history be saved
voice sounds different
5:06 what a maroon
"In the 1920s, before electricity..." boys and girls, this is why you stay in school.
Electrical distribution wasn't widespread in the US until the 1930s.
Acetylene and Kerosene lamps were still king in rural areas, but yes, electrical grids had been around since the 1880s - 1890s.
Love it. Perfect 8.
so what does this sell for? Can the speedup be disabled?
$1500 yes we can make it regular speed if you'd like
IT'S BROKE.
Oh course
Why is it that all these old games seem to have the ground plug missing? What is it about the ground plug that makes it especially fragile?
Pac Man..hmm never heard of that game Joe...i was 9 years old in 1980..remember hearing about John Lennon getting murdered, but Pac Man...nope😁
So Joe, Ron said he learned electronics by just spending so much time tinkering with these machines after he fixed his first one.
Is this the same way you learned this, tinkering on them with him? Or did you teach him everything he knows?😁
We learned the same way, He's a little older then me so he taught me a lot of things too. Thanks for watching!
@@LyonsArcade well, it’s cool that you both went on that journey of learning together, and both helped each other to build a successful business that saves these classic machines. Thanks for sharing! 🙂👍
We used to give a sharp tap using a D cell battery between the coin return on midway games and get free credits.
Good to see ya Joe!!
Yodelayheehoo
In 1980 I worked Arizona Cigarette and Amusement fixing these video games, worked at a big arcade chain throughout northern AZ too. I converted hundreds of these.
1920's Pachinko?
Definately
Heck yes! These things are incredibly valuable even if they don't work anymore.
I know this would be like putting a modern engine in a classic car but if someone wanted to could they just get rid of the CRT and put in an LCD screen?
