I have an old Ms. Pacman cabinet that has been painted black at some point, I want to make it into a 60 in 1 game. Can I take out the entire old harness and just leave the isolation transformer in the bottom for power for the monitor, if not, what can I cut away and just leave what is needed to use the 60 in 1 board and the switching power supply? What wires will I need to wire into the switching power supply for everything to work correctly, (marquee light, on/off switch, monitor power,etc)?

Thanks
 
Please don't convert a working classic.

That said, leave the original wiring, get a JAMMA harness and a power supply. Follow standard JAMMA cabinet wiring instruction.
 
That's just it, it is not working and I don't have the time to restore it, it is for someone else anyway that wants a multi game. Reason for wanting to get the old harness and bottom part of wiring and the old game transformer is that it has gotten wet at some time so I am going to replace the bottom of the cabinet. Will I have to leave any of the the old wiring in there at all? I thought I saw where someone just left the isolation transformer, the wiring to the marquee, speaker and coin door controls and used the switching power supply and a Jamma harness for the rest.
 
no you dont need any of that in there.

with that said its not bad to leave it all intact for when a member may get a hold of it down the road and convert it back.

wont hurt anything to leave it
 
Can you explain to me how to take out everything except for only what is needed to operate the multigame board? The isolation transformer has 2 wires running directly to the monitor, 1 blak and 1 white. On the bottom of that same transformer are a number of other wires, which ones do I coneect to mt switching power supply?

Thanks
 
I've got an old Konami Devastators cabinet that is JAMMA and plays blind. If it saves you some effort and money I'll trade you, if the cabinets are in comparable condition. I'd prefer to have the Ms. Pac style cabinet and I have plenty of spare parts to fix it.

The monitor that's in it is a K7000 and needs to be rebuilt and probably an HV to make it work.

From what I remember it needs a lot of cleaning and I think it had some parts missing off of the coin door or the coin door was bent, something was wrong with it. I may have a decent spare, but I'd have to find it.

The other problem is time, I'm tied up completely until some time next week.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll dig up some old pictures of the machine.

Thanks, but I already have the Jamma harness installed, along with the power supply and some of the wiring, just trying to figure out what I need to keep in there in order for my marquee light, on/off switch at the top and the monitor to work.

I actually did this recently as well with an old pac cab(painted black). Installed a switching PSU and jamma harness and left the old wiring in place, I actually used the original power wires for the old monitor and spliced them into a standard two plug wall socket and mount the socket into the floor, then plugged the switching power supply into one side and a 19" wide screen monitor into the other side since Im using the VGA on the 60-1. then grounded the socket with the old metal grounding straps originally in the cab. Leaving the original wiring pretty much completely intact.

It will look like a nice galaga cab when Im finished.

Leave everything in there.

Trying to remove "unnecessary" wires may result in a non-working cab, regardless of what you did before. The other transformer provides power for the coin door lights (if you have them) also. Unless you strip it completely and rewire all the marquee lighting power, power and interlock switch power, etc, it's better to just leave it already wired up and just add your new stuff. Nobody sees it in there and it doesn't hurt anything...
 
I have everything hooked up and the game is coming up and playing, but I'm stumped on the test switch and the service switch. Do both have to be hooked up and if so, which color wires from the jamma harness go on each one? The red push button on the coin door has two wires going to it and the service switch has 3 wires going to it, but I only have (1) orange wire, (1) red wire and need to know how to hook these up so I can get into the set up menu mode.

Thanks
 
you dont needthose wires hooked up. take 'em out is what i do

to get into test mode, just turn on dip switch #4
 
S 2 button is forward through the menu
S 3 is backwards through the menu

don't forget to turn the game off before you move dipswitch #4
 
Ok, I can step through the menu and can move the cursor to make my changes but how do I change from yes to no like on the demo music for example?

Thanks
 
I did this with my pac. Just splice the 120 from the lines running up to your marquee lights. I just push the button on top and everything turns on.
