I just bought a Galaxian cocktail that has everything original except the harness has been converted to play a bootleg Galaga pcb and there is a rough galaga cocktail glass on the top.

I was thinking of converting it back by finding a Galaxian cocktail harness or (gasp) getting an Arcadeshop:

Multicade/Multigame Cocktail Complete JAMMA Wiring Harness with panel harnesses
Solution has everything and is fully assembled with connectors, test/credit switch and bracket. Plug and play. $55

I would keep the Galaxian control panels and so that means I would get a board that only plays two-way/one button games like Galaxian, Space Invaders etc...

Has anyone installed one of these harnesses from Arcadeshop?

How hard is it to convert an existing harness to a Jamma connector?

Any thoughts? Please refrain from ripping me as this game has already been butchered and I am still considering converting it back to a Galaxian but wouldn't mind having other games as an option because Galaxian is not my favorite.
 
Galaxian was not a JAMMA game. Bootleg boards might look different but I've never seen a bootleg game that didn't use the same wire harness.
 
Galaxian has no power supply, like PacMan, but I think 1 wire on the harness is not the same.
Galaga has a power supply. Like a JAMMA game but not the same at all. If you buy the JAMMA Kit you will need JAMMA Boards to use it.
