I am confused if I need to keep existing PCB harness and use a converter or will that even work? Some have directed to wire for a Jamma without the converter.(not sure what that means) Currently I have the old 1981 Midway Pacman board that will not work. CRT has severe burn in so I know I am changing it and a new power supply. The board wiring harness is my big question. Do I need converter to connect to current PAC harness for Jamma or should I wire into control panel molex connector and other as necessary ? Which is best and/or easier? :dunno I can post pics if needed. |

You can use a Pac-Man to JAMMA adapter. https://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?sku=JA-PACMAN |

That adapter appears to me to be for running original PCBs in a JAMMA cabinet. But it sounds like norman is planning to switch to a board with a JAMMA connector and needs to interface it to the original harness. Norman what are you planning to use to drive the game? |

They have adapters that go the other way too. |

I will get a new power supply but regarding connection to the Jamma 60 in 1 board. Do I just buy a jamma harness and use it or any need to adapter to the existing harness left from the PAC-MAN. Some have said just use this from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/BLEE-28PinX2-Interface-Multicade-Consoles/dp/B07F721HHT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=jamma+harness&qid=1556217600&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1 |
