I recently convert s a Championship Sprint to Paperboy and had a couple questions. First I thought it would help to share that the CS probably started life as a dedicated CS and not the other way around. The clues are that inside the cab, there are the blocking and a the small door that would cover the pedal compartment that are neatly stapled to the inside of the cabinet. Second clue is that the Power supply is a combination of a switcher (it was a "sensing" switcher") and the very small AR amp that is inside the the coin compartment - I believe this was the latest version used to power the final System 2 cabinets. Earlier Paperboys had the large AR boards mounted under the PCBs and the "big blue" caps inside the base of the cab.
Questions:
1.CS was not a stereo game and paperboy is - so I'm not sure if my cab is wired for stereo and how to do it - I have attached pictures of the current wiring.
2. The early paperboys had two power supplies - one for each PCB. I have run wires to each of the +5 test points (similar to the pole position method) to attempt to get +5 to all the of the PCB - but I still lose voltage where the power supply reads +5 and the PCB test point are under +5. I have turned up the power supply to greater than +5 to get the PCB at +5 but this makes me nervous. Was wondering if I should get a second switcher and run additional +5 to the lower PCB?
Thanks!
