Installed Capcom Bowling PCB (Where do you plug in controls?)

The pound for pound I replaced it with had 2 plugs tht plugged into PCB for p1 and p2 plus the jamma harness....

Plugged in the capcom bowling and it powers up but I cant play coz I have no P1 or P2.

I dont see anywhere to plug it into the PCB

Do you have the pinout? Easy enough to print that out and then connect the right wire to the start button. There is no P1 and P2, only start, hook right and hook left.

The start button works for p1 and p2... Getting no trackball response or input from other 2 buttons on control...

Should I try to resit the harness to the pcb?

Well the trackball plugs directly into the jamma harness, and I assume the hook right and left are buttons 1 and 2 on the parts side. I don't have the pinout handy to tell you what pins do what. You need the older green board trackballs as well. I tried hooking my Capcom bowling up to a newer trackball and couldn't get it to work.

Gonna look on the pcb again now for a spot to plug it in.... I didnt see anything the first time just the spot for the harness.

No, there isn't an output header on the PCB, the TB and buttons all plug into the jamma harness. The outputs for those items come from the edge connector.

Ok this is where the 2 plugs in were for the pound for pound (i have 2 trackballs) they plugged into that pcb.... So what do I remove from them to plug into the harness?

You'll have to either cut the connectors off and hard wire the TB wires into your jamma harness, or find the matching connector and wire that into your jamma harness and then plug it in.

ok well my harness already is full with wires going to control panel as pictured above. I removed pins from one of the connectors and plugged into player 1 side now I cant coin up and am missing sounds..... Gonna have to quit for the night and take another try over weekend. I might have to trace all the wires back to their origin and I either have too many or have some that are reduntant. Also after closer inspection the cabinet Im using appears to be a Vanguard cabinet.... The pound for pound was put in it... Has a Vanguard serial number and Centuri model number on inside...
