Hi Guys...This is really my first post asking for help as I'm a complete newbie here...I'm restoring an old Centipede Cocktail with a G07-FBO 13 inch monitor. I've got the power supply replacement from Bob Roberts...

My question is regarding the bridge rectifier. I'd like to replace as much in the power block as possible and this includes the rectifier. The one from Bob Roberts is like an inch by an inch in size and as you know, the one it replaces (that comes standard with the power supply) is much larger and sits under Big Blue.

When replacing the old with the new, I see where the two AC inputs go and where the wires are from the transformer..but do I just make two new lines from the + and - from the rectifier to Big blue? I assume this is just standard 18 Gauge wire with some eyelet attachements crimped on the end?

Last question...how many purple and orange wires do you have going to big blue after the new rectifier is in place? Bob's picture has a total of four going to each (including the new rectifier leads)...If I was to do this, I would have five negative's (purples)...Is this just the way the Centipede boards are?

Again, sorry...but I'm a newb and would appreciate any help.

Thanks!
