I'm adding a few more Professor Pac serial numbers to the list.
These two are owned by same collector and will soon be purchased by a friend of mine. I'll likely be helping to restore the one that is missing sideart and needs working harness and some components installed back into game...but other than no sideart and rougher cab its complete and working.

103 Complete/Fully working Pittsburgh, PA
152 Complete/not working California
155 Complete/working(No sideart) Gulfport, MS
167 Complete/Fully working Pittsburgh, PA
177 Converted/jamma Lake Georgia NY
297 Complete/Working Gulfport, MS
418 Complete/Fully working Leonartown Maryland

So far from early numbers I'm thinking they started the count with 100 which would mean I have the third unit...there is very good chance 400 is exact number produced from all the info i've collected.. but need some more serial numers to verify info so far....serial numbers not likely to be over 400 if they only did 400 tops and started at unit #1..more units should tell story...I know the one unit I got from California was owned by an older guy so it wouldn't surprise me if that was very early unit...he had that thing since it was close to new..

So far the only thing that is left is the panel under the contol panel.Im striping the
tetris overlay.The control panel has the origal holes so needs overlay and buttions.
I would also need the marquee.Thanks

Skip..thanks. I haven't had much time lately to get on here with work..but I would like to track down all the serial numbers for the Professor Pacs I know still exist.
What all is left on your cab...Sideart...marquee...control panel...? I will eventually do a complete run on all the artwork for this cab...

Mine is numbered 177 it has been turned to jamma.It has great promise.I would be
interested if you do another run of artwork.I also have a pacland but just seeing the
two cabs I don't think it was ever a professor pac.

I have a converted control panel for one of these. If anyone needs the parts let me know. I recall that one of the Pac buttons was still in good shape.

Ok..Need some help on this one...there are not many of these around but I know of around 10 in various conditions..get in touch with collectors and lets get some serial numbers to see what the numbers show...all my research says only 400 made and most sent back for conversion..but I like to see the numbers for statistical comparison. I double check my two professor pacs and get the serial numbers to start things off.
