power supply swap in Ms Pac Man machine

[vintagegamer]

Hi All,

It looks like my power supply/transformer is most likely the culprit for my Ms Pac Man machine woes.  It was suggested I get one of the newer power supplies that can be found at the below link:

My question is, would anyone be able to tell me which wire goes where from the Ms Pac harness onto this supply?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Easiest solution would be one of ArcadeShop's convertors:

Thanks CJ,

I'm assuming the one I need is the one at this link that indicates it's for Ms Pac Man:

Can anyone tell me if they've done this swap already and how it worked out, or what the 2 blue wires are for which are separate (I'm assuming they're for the video)?

Many thanks for the help,

Yep, that was the one I was thinking of. I haven't swapped for a MsPac/Pac, but have used Steve's Galaga and Williams power kits without any problem at all.

The blue wires are used to tap into the AC cabinet power (as opposed to running an additional power cord) to run the new power supply.

Cheers.

Thanks again- may be a dumb question, but do they come with instructions?

I'm just so bummed that my Ms Pac croaked that I want to be as close to 100% as possible in getting her back up on her sexy legs again.

As originally designed, Pac/Ms Pac get AC power from the transformer on the bottom panel. The gameboard has an on-board power supply circuit to operate the board.
