All right then, how about $50 for the sticks, wiring harness, power supply and boards ?
RayB:
I would attempt a fix with original hardware before converting it to a switcher.

For those not in the know...J/K means "Just Kidding". It would be a friggin' CRIME to mame this cabinet!
I just poked around a little and it seems the bottom 2 fuses are in line with the +5VDC...i replaced both fuses (the cabinet had a pack of 5 fuses on the floor too!) and no go. It seems the power supply is shot. Tomorrow (after Valentines Day) I will pull the board out and see if I can find any solder cracks, etc...just in case.
I pulled the bezel and opened the CP...I didn't realize just how simplistic those 2 way leaf joysticks are...
The marquee bulb looks blown (dark at both ends of the tube), but not sure. I will have bust out my multimeter and do some checking, but being that I am a multimeter newb, I am a little anxious.
I think a good vacuuming is in order... the bezel has some minor scratching toward the top but the marquee is damn near perfect. I also found a token in the coin box...w00t.

BTW: I seem to remember reading a website that had paint codes for proper paint colors for side art of certain Williams games. I distinctly remember Defender being one of them, but I'd LOVE to find the paint codes for this Joust. Does anyone have a link to that (or any other) site with such info?
