Title: Sold my Romstar Sky Soldiers and picked up a Pac-Man (Need coin Mechs!)
Post by: Kaboom on November 22, 2015, 04:37:15 pm
Ok, so I recently bought a Romstar Sky Soldier I found on Craigslist that I wanted to try and do a 60 to 1 conversion.  Only paid $150 for it but once I got it home and considered it I realized I just didn't love the cabinet.  I decided to throw it back on Craigslist to sell and got $300 for it.  So that was cool and it gave me a little extra money to put towards a better machine for the 60 to 1 conversion.  After hunting for a bit I located an original Pac-Man that was in really great condition down in Boston.  I bought it for $475 and brought it home to Maine.  I looked thru it and its really clean but noticed that it was set to free play and it's missing the coin mechs.  I really want to get replacement ones so I can switch back to coin play.  Does anyone know where I could get them?   

Here are some pictures of my new Pac-Man!

A friend of mine found the coin mechs on ebay for less than $20 shipped.  Hopefully they work.
