Using artist brushes the paint was restored, graphic

Paint formula's were obtained from Apollo.
The damage to the front cabinet was repaired
using Epoxy filler and reinforcement.
A replacement control panel was installed.
A better coin door and frame was located repainted
and installed.
A picture tube bezel was found and installed.
A back cabinet door was found and installed.
New lamp, and ballast installed
New power switch and plate installed
New power cord plug installed
Replacement picture tube found and crt replaced
(note unit had new cap kit so this skipped)
The decision was made to use a jamma harness
to wire cabinet.
New switching power supply installed to replace
original supply
Ms pacman board with jamma adapter installed
including David Widel's kit with added mazes and games.
Designed and installed IC based logic circuit
to allow buttons and joystick to reset menu.
Current status. Need to obtain Cp overlay,
screened
