Does anyone have any info on how to convert a Stern Scramble to use a switcher PS? I'm reasonably sure the linear power supply in this cabinet is shot and it's been modded so many times I'm not really looking to mess with it.

Welp, if you have a working PS, I may be interested.
I think Mark Spaeth makes some of those little circuit boards for the power supplies.
Bob Roberts has peel away .156 headers like that for $1 for 24 pins, looks like you only need around 10. He also has spade lugs to attach to the power supply $1 for 10 of them I think.
Add a little bit of lamp wire (zip wire) and you can build an analog to that board for under $3 in parts (plus shipping). And then you still haven't hacked the original wiring in the cab.
I don't understand your worries. You now have the connector requirements, just hack up the already hacked wiring harness to a switcher. Why is this so hard for a guy who has done a tube swap for a Star Wars Cockpit???

Does anyone know where I could pick up a blank PCB like the one attached to the switcher in this photo.... in order to create my own? I'd love to find one that just had the pins and the parts to attach to the switcher allowing end-users to create their own circuits to each... but I am likely asking too much there.
Frizz, I'm not for sure which one Scramble uses......but I still have this one...

As I am building this harness I notice that the original PS has both a +12 and an UNREGULATED +12. Would it be OK to hook both these up to the (what I assume is a regulated) +12 output of a switcher?
My guess is YES, but I figured I better check.
