I want to get one of the 60-1 PCB's and have an Atari Dig Dug the harness was hacked to take another game so I was just going to Jamma it. my question is can I simply use the Atari power brick that I rebuilt as the power supply?
Thanks :)
 
sure
just make sure EVERY SINGLE wire is accounted for going to and from the PCB and you should be fine

Thank you very much :) That makes sense. I guess I have a follow-up question. Do I simply get a new Jamma harness for the cabinet or do I just put a new connector on the existing harness? It obviously was the Dig Dug harness but somebody hacked it up to put karate champ on it. Can I just simply take the karate champ head off and put a Jamma one on? Or would it be easier just to buy a Jamma harness and go to town? Thank you
 
If it was me, Buy a "good" quality New harness and go from there. Life is easy with a nice new harness and good wires.

I agree, but where do you buy a good quality harness?

Maybe twisted quartes jamma harness is high quality, but NOBODY elses is.
