Defender power supply upgrade options .. help please!
Hey guys,
I finally have a keeper Defender that I am going to be restoring. It has the original PS in it now and it's a bit flaky (game constantly resets itself). I was going to rebuild the original PS but recently read about it not having overvoltage protection so that is out of the question. Then, I was going to install a new switcher but read that it can cause issues with high score corruption so now that is out of the question too.
Can anybody point me to a tutorial on how to convert a Robo/Joust PS to work in a Defender? Can it be done plug and play or is an adapter harness required? Also, where do you typically mount the huge heat sink?
Better yet, if anybody has one already converted to sell to me that would be great!
Thanks! Ryan
