In the past when it was a cheap board I would just mount the board onto a piece of wood with a jamma fingerboard and just solder wires right from the board to the fingerboard. Faster and cheaper than making the adaptor. When I sold my board collection the boards I did this to went way over market value too.

Yeah, not the most original thing to do, but it got the boards converted for $3 rather than $30. Which could be particularly important when I was dealing with an unknown condition board with a unique pinout.

$10 here... http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/39-jamma-harnesses (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/39-jamma-harnesses)
How much is your time worth? How many hours would it take you to make the harness?

He's not making a harness. He's making an adapter to plug a non-jamma pcb into a cabinet that is wired for jamma.
Basically one of these minus the sound amp...

My #1 pet PCB hate. If I found someone who did this to an original PCB I would find it hard not to punch them in the face, and I'm not a violent person :bat
