The game is 20 years old. I'm betting you can still use that info. ;)

Actually you can look at the big rectifier and tell it is probably toast, so I would say that the diagnosis is correct. "It's dead Jim." seems appropriate :)
I have a switcher coming and I'm going to set it up temporary to see if the power problem is the only issue. I will probably also order a kit from Bob Roberts to fix the Wiliams power board, just for the practice. Knowledge through experience is always a good thing. Also I get to buy a solder sucker, which sounds like fun.
In the end, if I keep the game, I will build a new setup like Tom's, just for the convenience of having a dependable power source.
Thanks for all the posts!
Dave.

IT LIVES!! ;D YEAH!
I got a Peter Chau PS today in the mail and first thing was to put +5v on my MP to see if the boardsets work. As you can see in the pics, this was an UGLY test. I just picked up the +5 and ground for the board, and let the original PS do the rest.
The outcome... Perfect picture and perfect attract mode.
Now I have to rush off to Bob Roberts and order some parts, so I can fix it right.
The pic of the screen shows the extent of the dirt collected on the monitor, it has no burn at all.
