Okay got this Circus Charlie and the PCB works, as put it on my test monitor, with Konami to JAMMA adapter, and aside from one graphical glitch is fine, but the actual cabinet, the power supply is bad, and the harness is hacked and missing an entire part, can any Centuri harness work, are they easy to come by? or is it just as easy (as I have these on hand) use a JAMMA harness and switcher and the adapter and run the game like that?
 
Circus Charlie just uses a standard Konami classic harness. If you are just looking to put the game is something to get it to run, you can use just about any classic Konami harness. If you are putting this in an original Circus Charlie cabinet, then you might look for a classic Konami harness that had the same inputs (joystick) as Circus Charlie. You can use a switcher with this classic harness as well.

It is also just as easy to use a Jamma harness and adapter off of a switcher.

I don't think that classic Konami harnesses are easy to obtain - I don't see them offered for sale on a daily basis or anything.

Here is a link to the manual - page 4 shows the wiring for the classic Konami connector.
