Wanted: New old original galaga harnesses,power supply, board,fuses
I did a very stupid thing yesterday while attempting to install a switching power supply(i knew i should have just kept the old setup and found a new power supply board), into my dads Galaga. After reading multiple threads about how to tackle doing this very thing, i decided to go ahead and dive in. i wired all red and one white to the +5, the orange to the 12+, and then everything else to the ground. i obviously couldn't process everything or visualize everything ,that i was only supposed to wire just the left side harness, and ended up wiring the other harness that goes to the power supply to my switching supply as well. i did this instead of tapping into the 120 vac iso trans.(still haven't figured out how to do that), that goes to the monitor.
Because of this, when i thought i had everything set up, i went to turn the power on and spark city occurred, flash city occurred, a buzzing sound occurred;then nothing. the game went totally dead. i think i killed it. There is always the chance that i blew the fuses,and or the board. i feel like crap and am really mad at myself. anyway, what i am left with is a two hacked up harnesses, a burned out original power supply, a switching power supply that may or may not still work but i don't want to use it anymore because of what just happened, blown fuses for sure, and poss. a damaged board, maybe more. if anybody has spare galaga parts they are willing sell please give me a pm. i really would like to get this working for my dad for christmas. thanks for your time everyone and happy thanksgiving! -Phil
*EDIT I managed to get a hold of a harness, and a power supply. IF if anyone has a board they would like to sell please give me a pm. thanks!
