I have a ms pac I just bought that I am going to fix up. The first thing is it is already converted to JAMMA and the monitor is not original the monitor is a Jen Shinn 220LS. Anyway before I start messing around too much I would like to play it but it is very loud and I have a small child who needs to sleep lol. In the original manual the volume is on the PCB but the board I have I cant find it. Now there is a yellow circle that looks like it could be a POT. Here are some PICs, any help would be great.

I've never seen a ms pac board that looks like that. I would guess it's either a bootleg or a later era licensed board like the reunion cabs may have had. At any rate I would look for a pot on the board. If there is no volume pot it's possible you have to access an on screen menu to adjust the volume. Might be something that flipping a dip switch will take you to ot maybe a test switch in the cab needs to be used to enter an on screen settings menu. I know nothing of this particular board so I'm just throwing out possibilities from what I have seen on other boards.
 
That tiny yellow Phillips Head plastic screw is the volume pot. Use a screwdriver to adjust it, but be careful not to force it beyond the mechanical limit which is easy to do since a) it's tiny, and 2) you're turning it via a tool.
 
I noticed it definitely doesn't look like a normal board. It looks like this unit was redone at some point because its hooked up Jamma and the Monitor is from 2003.
 
I have an original donkey kong as well so I am new to jamma if I wanna put a 60 in 1 in the ms PAC is all I need to do is connect it or will I still need to rewire things for it to work?
 
How does the cabinet itself look? You might not be familiar with the artwork and whatnot but I would love to see if anything else has been done to it. Has it been painted over or have any obvious mods or replaced artwork.
 
The cabinet looks like it was painted over its light blue. The back is real rough and I am going to re do it. There is no art on the sides. There is art on the front. Also there is a different monitor on it.
