Do a search for the bob roberts jamma adapter article it has all the details of how to run dc to pacman.  Basically you feed 5 volts in on the 7vac lines, there will be some voltage drop because of the ac to dc circuits.  By backfeeding 5v in on the 5v out pin you can bring it up enough to run w/o modifications to the pac board.

Is this the article ??

http://www.arcaderestoration.com/index.asp?OPT=3&DATA=1798&CBT=24

It looks great,  but i don't want to go JAMMA with this PAC-CAB.

I want to keep the original wiring harness.

I just need to figure out where i need to hookup the DC POWER SUPPLY

i have,  To the original PAC harness.

Can i just tie into it somewhere??


Somebody here must have done this before.

Without going Jamma?

Thanks Ken that was very helpful!

I was just going to the kit from BOB ROBERTS.

But it looks like he is/was located in NEW ORLEANS.

God i hope he and his family are ok?

Where would be a good place to get the fingerboard / edge connectors?

Radio Shack?
