Ok here is the deal. Bob Roberts sells a switcher kit for Pacs. It is the standard switcher. The manual from Mikes Arcade looks like the voltages off the transformer are 7 volts and 12 volts to the PCB. What should the voltages be? I am sure the switcher kit is correct.
 
Pac boards take AC directly from a transformer, then rectify and filter it right on the board. You can, however, use DC voltage from a standard switcher - it'll pass right through the diodes on the board. Just hook 5vDC to the 7vAC input, and 12vDC to the 12vAC input.
