Centipede - Missing board what does it do?
RayB:
Personally, I only care that the machine works, but some people claim collectors want original hardware. I dunno.
How do you plan on using a switching PSU, considering the AR-II board also handles audio amplification?

I'm really confused here... Are you looking to get this machine working, or are you looking to refurbish it so it's more reliable? Or are you thinking making it JAMMA so you can swap in other boards?
Reason I ask, you say you are only missing the AR-II board. You just one one in an Ebay auction. Assuming it doesn't work, you need a rebuild kit which costs $12. But instead you're thinking of getting a $45 adaptor and new PSU. I don't understand...
:D

Some people just want everything to be at least part JAMMA so they feel more comfortable.

no i don't want to run jamma boards in it.
really i bid on the AR-II board before thinking it through (as you saw i didnt even know if it was right revision)
i will wait untill the AR-II arrives and see if transformer + AR-II work together.
i dont have the whole wiring loom but i think most of power related stuff is complete.
if they do i will probably try to rebuild the missing loom wiring. if i can figure out the schematics. i am a bit worried i might be missing required molex connectors though.
i already have the cab half wired for the jamma and already have jamma psu installed in the cab - thanks to previous owner. getting the arcadeshop adapter looked like a plug and play solution for me especially at the time before i had an AR-II. i was going to have to order CPO from them any way. i only realised i would also need the updated EA-ROM just recently .
if i had the whole loom intact there would be no issue for me to go 100% original.
sorry to cause any confusion
