TheShanMan's Defender restoration - New repro wiring harnesses!!!
gloogun:
Just a thought, but I have that same switching power supply in a Defender cab I picked up last week. In mine the original PS is still in place and hooked up to the transformer assembly via the 4JI connector. The new SPS is just installed right next to it and hooked up to the transformer with a couple of new blue wires. The guy that sold it to me told me it needed to be that way otherwise you'd have problems with the video. I didn't argue, but maybe someone on this board knows better....

Mine currently has a switcher and works great. I'm planning on putting the linear back in though.

I got my joystick rebuild kit today. The joystick shaft doesn't fit as tightly as I'd like, but that's not the fault of the rebuild kit since it doesn't come with the shaft. I wrapped it with a little teflon tape to make it a tighter fit - not sure if that will last long term, but at least for now it fits tightly. Other than that, the slop is gone. Very expensive ($35 + $9 shipping - man, has shipping gotten expensive or what?!), but for me it was worth it. The slop was bad before.
Hopefully tonight I'll get a chance to clean up the rom board.
Hey Peale, when do you think I should expect my ram adapter to arrive? I got my ram yesterday, so I'm looking forward to trying that out in the off chance that the ram is causing problems for me.
SirPeale:
Sorry...I ran into a little "problem" over the weekend. I'll have your adapter out tomorrow.

Bummer. I though it would be here by now. Thanks for getting that taken care of!
I got the ROM board all cleaned up today and I was kind of hopeful that it would do better on power up due to some corrosion I found, but no such luck. So I'll wait for Peale's adapter and try my new RAM as my last resort.
