I have the manual. I will scan it Sunday and put it on my website for you to download. I had some surgery today so I won't be up for a day or two.

Man that would be great!!! I picked up the game while up in your neck of the woods last weekend. Apparently I picked up something else as well...been terrible sick since Monday. Anyway, the game "worked" but my buddy had robbed the monitor from it. Alas, it did not make it home working. Some hackery had transpired on the power supply before he got the game and, as my luck goes, it was not well secured so it bounced around, and apart, on the trip home. There is a tad bit of a mess in there and hope the manual has a wiring diagram so that I can reconstruct the damage.
Hope all goes well with the recovery. Been there, done that.
Take care,

Got it up and running. I am going to guess it had 2 power supplies??? There was one (of 3) lying loose in the cab. I wired a plug to it and stuck a meter on it. It read 5V. The second looked to only provide 12. The third was a standard multi-output switcher wired in to the 5V lines. It was hanging by the wiring harness. I did found a text file with the pinout which I used to track back the wires. Since it all looked like a jumble I wanted to make sure I sent 12V only where 12V needed to go. Anyway, I wired it all through the newer switcher and it fired up. I can only guess someone, before me, was shooting a power issue. The 12V unit was only reading 2V and some change. The 5V unit looked OK (unloaded). Or the 12V just died as of late. One war or another it matters not now!!
I would like to see the manual, eventually. No rush. I hope it has some power requirements. The 12V PS I took out supported up to 4.2 amp. The one I put in was rated at 3. Obviously if the game requires a better supply I will want to get one.

GOT IT! Thanks!
I got the game running over the weekend on a single switcher. Looking at the manual that I now have (
) I see there are some pretty steep amp requirements on the 5V side. The factory unit was not marked so I could not tell from it. I bet the switcher will not last long!! I may have to repair the factory supplies or put a PC PS in there to make the game last. Time will tell.
