Spyridon:
I ordered the Pac-man smoked plexi from ThisOldGame.

Pulled out the wireing harness this weekend to take a look at. The wires are cut going up to the marquee and power switch. I'll have to trace those wires back and see where each one goes.

WunderCade:
I'd say the smoked plexi came factory. My Galaga, Ms. Pac-man, and Pac-man all had the same monitor shroud w/ recessed smoked plexi inserted on them. The plexi fits perfectly into the shroud recess with four retainer clips

Thanks for confirming that. I'll have to check my Galaga and see if I have it in there.

Here are the cut wires that I need to trace back and see where each one goes:

I believe they go to the interlock, power switch, and marquee. Not sure where else or which wire goes where yet.

WunderCade:
That's a Ms. Pac-man wiring harness, so you must have a Ms. Pac powersupply harness set-up.

I believe both PS's are interchangeable, but the regular Pac-man power supply has an extra diode array on it (I think for the coin door) but not sure.

I'll post pics.

This is a Pac-man PS block (note the array in the top right corner):

This is the Ms. Pac-man PS block (no array on it) Ms. Pac has Coin Door lights:

This is the Pac-man harness counterpart to what you have shown clipped:

Now this is the Ms. Pac-man harness that you have shown clipped:

Just in case you decide to use it anyway, here are some (hopefully helpful) pics of where the harness you are showing clipped goes on my Ms. Pac-man, it does indeed go to the marquee light, but it also contains the monitor power harness that branches off of it as well as the ground clip that clips to the monitor frame:

Here's pics of the part running up to the marquee (and also the ground loops to the speaker):

If you need more pics of anything let me know....I'm going to the shed to see if I have an extra Pac-man PS board....I'll let you know my friend. Keep up the good work, love watching the progress.

Spyridon:
WunderCade, thanks for posting those pictues.

Here's a full shot of the power supply:

Looks like it matches with you pacman pic? Also, if I remember correctly (I'm currently in NC), it had a Pac-man tag on it
