Robotron911 has been kind enough to offer me a wire harness for my Tempest UR, but his is from a cocktail. I was wondering what would need to be done, if anything, to use that harness in an UR? Or are the 2 completely different?

Thanks,

assuming everything would work lengthwise, cause i would imagine an upright harness is a bit longer, i would think you'd just leave the 2p side of the harness unhooked and make sure the pcb is setup for upright mode rather than cocktail.
 
The only thing I keep thinking of with this is on the UR if you choose 2 players, the same harness connections are used for both players. But on the Cocktail wiring, for the 2nd player option, the Cocktail would be looking for the second set of control panel wiring, correct?
 
i don't know how true this is, but i've heard that if you switch the dip setting from cocktail to upright, it will take both player 1 and 2 inputs from the player one side.

This is how all of the classic era games I have built adaptors for work. As long as you are in the non-cocktail dip switch position the control inputs are taken from P1 controls for both P1 and P2.
 
i am sorry to say this but dont do it........you are better off just getting the right harness for it... not that hard to find.......question how are you going to make the marquee lights work on your upright....last time i checked a cocktail does not have any hook ups for it cause it dont have it......i have a upright harness i can sell you...pay the money and be done.....

The thing I was really happy about was the price, but I know it was going to be some work. Since you have offered a good price on a UR version I will be going with you. Thank you!
