All right then, how about $50 for the sticks, wiring harness, power supply and boards ?

RayB:

I would attempt a fix with original hardware before converting it to a switcher.

For those not in the know...J/K means "Just Kidding".  It would be a friggin' CRIME to mame this cabinet!   

I just poked around a little and it seems the bottom 2 fuses are in line with the +5VDC...i replaced both fuses (the cabinet had a pack of 5 fuses on the floor too!) and no go.  It seems the power supply is shot.   Tomorrow (after Valentines Day) I will pull the board out and see if I can find any solder cracks, etc...just in case.

I pulled the bezel and opened the CP...I didn't realize just how simplistic those 2 way leaf joysticks are...

The marquee bulb looks blown (dark at both ends of the tube),  but not sure.   I will have bust out my multimeter and do some checking,  but being that I am a multimeter newb,  I am a little anxious.

I think a good vacuuming is in order... the bezel has some minor scratching toward the top but the marquee is damn near perfect.   I also found a token in the coin box...w00t.

BTW:  I seem to remember reading a website that had paint codes for proper paint colors for side art of certain Williams games.   I distinctly remember Defender being one of them,   but I'd LOVE to find the paint codes for this Joust.   Does anyone have a link to that (or any other) site with such info?
