Can someone take a few pictures of the 56 pin edge connector in a Punchout for me?

A few tabs have broken off from the edge connector and I don't know where to reinstall them. I checked the manual but it doesn't match the remaining configuration, and I know it was working before.

Thanks.
 
Bump. It's my Punch-Out!! that OZ is talking about. It was indeed working before. Then I got scrambled video on both monitors and either no sound or just a static buzz. We thought it was the power supply at first. OZ rebuilt that for me and it tested good, but after reinstallation there was no change on the scrambled video. We did get the sound (mostly) back but it's erratic. Several of the wires were disconnected from the edge connector and the schematic was no help.

Thanks in advance.

The world record holder had that same problem a few months back. It's not that big of deal to rewire that pig. I put a nice new edge connector on for him.

Remember Oz, when in doubt... ring it out.

That is not the problem. I know exactly where every wire goes once it leaves the connector. The problem is the 'as wired' condition doesn't match the manual and that concerns me. in fact, some of the as wired positions appear to be crossing circuits, if the manual is correct.
 
Cool. If you need any specfic wire(s) traced to its source let me know.

There are a lot of crossing circuits, especially on the one end.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious. My concern is the extra crossing circuits not shown in the manual.



With the pics from above and a fresh start I should have it up and running after my next visit. I reterminated everything before I left, so it is just a matter of pinning the edge connector and starting it back up.

On a related note, I rebuilt the power supply, a PP-1000A, and took an inventory as I went. I'll post the caps tomorrow, since the list is at work. The PP-7A/PP-7B list you sent me was missing a few caps as well. I'll post that one also.
