Title: Switching between pcb's on a jamma?
Post by: BUCKETHEAD on April 27, 2005, 07:23:17 pm

Is there any kind of plastic spacers you can buy to stack PCB'S on top of one

another in a jamma cabinet?

Or is there a easier method of switching between multiple PCB's

that you can purchase ?

Thanks for any help?

You might look at Clay's multijamma boards ...

I actually have an entire BIG closet next to my JAMMA cabinet pretty much dedicated to boards and Neo geo carts (although there is also a vacuum cleaner and a dresser full of video repair parts in there as well.

Where was I going with that? Make something in your cabinet that makes it easy to just sit the boards on a shelf. I tend to sit mine on a cardboard box at the bottom of my Jamma cabinet.

You can get cylindrical nylon spacers at any hardware store (or even Home Depot).

I've got a handful of them laying around that I'm going to use to mount all of my Mortal Kombat boards in my MK3 cabinet, if I ever get around to wiring them all up together.

I like to keep my boards in bubble rap in seperate boxes for safe dust free keeping.

I just mounted them with some PCB feet right beside one another.

I have room to mount 2 more on the other side, Making that a total of 4 games in

the cabinet.  Im going to buy a Jamma harness extender to reach the other side.

When i get tired of playing those. And add new pcb's I will use the advice of

putting them in a box with bubble wrap.  :)

I DON'T store with bubble wrap, as it is often dicey to remove, getting caught on components and such. I stack up priority mail boxes open ended with one in each box.
