Good morning, I own an Atari Centipede cocktail table game. The original problem was that the game would not power on anymore. So I took the power supply out of the unit and noticed that some of the voltages were a little off. I purchased and replaced the 27000 uf big blue capacitor and also the bridge rectifier circuit board. The voltages from that circuit now seems to be more in-line with the schematic. Since I took this power supply out of the unit over 5 years ago I can not remember where one of the plugs get plugged into. Specifically, it is a connector that comes off the bottom of the on/off switch. The on/off switch leads go into a wiring harness and this connector comes off that wiring harness just a few inches away. It's a six pin connector. There are two black wires, two white wires and a green wire in this connector. So it appears to be a power connector. As a matter of fact I used that connector to test for continuity of the on/off switch. I wanted to determine which position was "on" and which position was "off". I'm hoping someone can help me determine where this connector gets plugged into. I'm totally stumped. I would love to see this game come back to life. Thanks in advance for your help. |

I have a centipede cocktail at home. I get off work between 2 and 4pm CST. I can take a look at mine then and help you out. |

Hey vapuser, you bojo! Those boards don't work on water! Unless you got power! Hahahah... |

Well. I would have to pull the monitor to get a good look at that plug. Maybe this will help. If you still need me to pull the monitor and snap some pics I will do it. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |
