I've got an old Kickman cab, just this week finally got the PCB repaired after many years of putting it off. Thinking ahead, I took a bunch of pictures of the board and its connections to the power supply, monitor, etc. before removing it to ship it off to be fixed. So far, so good.

So this week I get the working board back, and pull up iPhoto to check the connections... and the archive is corrupted, those particular pics are unviewable beyond the thumbnails. Terrific.

Yeah, I know I should have marked them beforehand. "But I have pictures!"

Stupid iPhoto.

Anyway, I'd hate to fry the dang board with a backwards connection, so could someone a with Kick/Kickman upright cab with the stock wiring please take a couple of snapshots for me? Or refer me to an online resource I could use for a sanity-check? The game manual isn't particularly helpful in this regard.

Thanks...

UPDATE: Okay, I think I can figure it out from this Satan's Hollow pic... but I'd still be glad to hear any suggestions/warnings from anybody familiar with this beast.

They're basically all keyed, or different pin counts. It's tough to screw it up.

The main thing you'd have to watch for is the interboard ribbon cables. Get those off-by-one pin and you can do some damage.

Don't sell me short. :)

Fortunately, somebody who actually knew what he was doing put the stack together, so I should be okay there.

Anyway, I'll fire it up tomorrow...
 
plug the brown cable that goes to the monitor first. It plugs into the middle board into the stack. After that, they're pretty well all keyed.
 
Thanks, all. Hookups were no problem, but the PSU is (predictably) shot. I'll replace it with a modern switching PS and the Arcadeshop MCR adapter.
