BUCKETHEAD:
Yes they re angled the Monitor. Moved it up much more than it was when it was a Galaxian.

yes i know never to fool with electronics of any kind while they
are plugged in. I know this much, because of computer experience.

Thanks for that saftey tip though!

BUCKETHEAD:
Thanks RAY B.

I found the switch on top of the COMBATRIBE.

The top of it was broken off. So i used a pair of needle nose to cut it on.

The audio was real screeching sounding. So i cleaned the contacts on the

PCB.

Nintendo THEMSELVES didn't do the conversion, that plate came with the Vs. conversion kit (for Pac-Man series).

Next thing to do is to see if the Hogan's Alley cabinet will work when hooked up to the monitor in the Combattribes. Just put them back to back and unhook the monitor cable from the Hogan's Alley and plug that into the Combattribes monitor (if you are LUCKY then this will be plug and play, if the connectors are different then we will have to look up the monitor pinouts for you, or you can splice if all 5 wires are the same color (or likely 4 of them will be the same color and one will be different, same thing).
