turning a vs. cab into a mario bros, what do I need?

I picked up jow's vs upright cab (former donkey kong I think, blue cab and all)
Monitor is set up horizontally already.

If I want to make this a mario bros, what do I need? I have the board, and I know I would need the bezel, cp, and marquee.

Can I use the power supply that's in there? Is all I need a new wiring harness?

thanks
 
based on the pin outs at crazy kong I believe you can use the PS you have and just need a different wiring harness. I'm also pretty sure I plugged my mario bros board into a harness I had wired to an original DK PS.
 
I have a Marquee that can is already short on one side. It could be cut to fit the standard narrow cab. Other wise I have the one with the 2P bubble also. So you can take your pick.
We should have talked about this at CAX.

thanks bud. When we were at CAX, I did not have this cab. Picked it up a couple days ago.
 
I have an extra cage and adapter/filter board for MB if you need those.
The PS is the same as everything else except Popeye.
You'll need at least the CP and harness.

sweet. Yeah looks like I need a wiring harness. Maybe bob roberts can make me one.

as a matter of fact, he can!

Ok, I got my wiring harness from bob roberts, got the board, got a control panel coming, bezel/marquee will be here today.

Bob roberts' wiring harness does not come with molex connectors.
Can anyone with time, give me a list or some pics of the molex connectors I will need to get this thing up and running?

I haven't really looked inside or thought this through completely, but I think I will just run the wires from bob roberts harness straight to the control panel and make my own molex break in the wiring.
Does that mean I just need molex pieces to connect to the power supply?


EDIT:
It occurs to me that since I have the vs harness in there already, I have exactly what I need for reference, lol.
