Where to get the best deal on the Super JAMMA harnesses with the fully populated loom and the nice molex connectors for the control panel wiring?
 
Be careful which ones you buy.

I just tried some Jamma (extension) cables and returned them. I got soaked for $17 for shipping both ways and one was DOA and the other gave my game severe heartburn.

Any future Jamma cables I'll buy from Bob because they'll work and be made from quality components. But I don't think Bob's has the molex connectors on the other end...

I've had good and bad ones as well. Twisted Quarter has some really nice looms, but they're expensive $37.50. I want the molex because I swap control panels a lot and I really hate trying to wire molex connectors. I'm hoping someone has the same item for less.

I bought some JAMMA extenders from jammaboards. am I going to have a problem with those? :(

really wish I set up with Bob now. GFD
 
That's what I just returned.

One was DOA -- games wouldn't boot with it.

The other gave Gauntlet Legends fits.

I couldn't get the coin door or test switches to work with them either.

I'm sure that if I had gone over them with my DMM I could have found the issues and probably fixed them with some soldering and adding new wires, but WTF? Why should I have to do surgery on new products just to make them function as advertised?

Bob's will work -- that much I'm sure of.
 
dam, I was banking on those working for my Multi Kombat project.

this is gonna be one of those weeks, I can tell. LOL
 
Well, I just placed a large order with Bob tonight and this is was one of the items I ordered.

LOL.

It turns out that Bob's very expensive ($30) 3' jamma extension harnesses are actually $35. I had cut and pasted the $30 price off his webpage for all of the items I'd ordered and noticed that it came out as $35 from him.

Turns out that he'd listed it at $30 on his main parts page but had raised the price on other pages and missed the reference on his main parts page.

I didn't push the point that he had been advertising it at $30 because I need the extension cable but damn that's a lot of money for a 3' cable -- it BETTER be really good.
 
No surprise.

Bob's Jamma extension cables work fine whereas the ones from jammaboards didn't.

Coin credits work with Bobs, test switch works, video is perfect. Dang, Bob's are probably twice the weight of the jammaboards ones -- guess he used heavier wire and has all the wires hooked up...

Worth the money but don't know if I can force myself to shell out $35 for another one... :)
