| Spyridon:
Made some progress this weekend. 1. Removed the Arkanoid II board 2. Removed the old hacked power supply and wire harness It's pretty dirty in there, but I'll clean that up when I move the cab to the garage for painting I cut the wires going to the interlock switch, monitor, power switch, and marquee. I'll use these to match up to the cut wires on my pac-man harness. 3. Installed the pacman power supply and harness 4. I matched up all of the cut wires from the pac-man power supply to the ones in the cab. I just need to solder them together and I should be good to go. |

One shinny new monitor ready to go into the cab: What's the best way to hook up the power to this monitor? The current K4600 monitor uses a two pronged connector: The new monitor uses a 3 prong connector with a ground wire not used on the original: I'm thinking about cutting the new cord below the 3 pin connector and splicing it into the two wires being used on the original monitor. I'll then add in a ground wire as well. Is there any problem with using an isolation transformer with a monitor that doens't require one? |

There already should be a separate ground wire running to the metal parts of the old monitor. I hate you. And all you guys that can get CRT monitors so cheaply over there ;) Any news on the joystick ? :D |
