I picked up the starfighter cab that had been converted to a DK the control panel said but the board doesnt look like the DK boards I found pics of.
Here are some pics and also check out that old transformer in the bottom

Why, that be a Falcon Crazy Kong :D (most likely "Crazy Kong part 2", since it has all 14 EPROMS) Any pics of the cab or control panel?

I just looked up Falcon Crazy Kong and that is a pretty cool! Thanks for the fast identification!!

I would like to get the board up and going but the harness is hacked all to hell would a standard DK setup work? and where might you find one?

Here are some more pics of the poor beast

Ah, I remember you posting pics of that cab a week or so ago and said it had some sort of DK board in it...figured at the time it was probably Crazy Kong. As to the harness, it uses the Falcon pinout, definitely not a DK style harness. It won't use any crazy voltages, just +5 and +12. There's 2 things you could do. You could just gut the wiring, JAMMA-tize it and build a JAMMA to Falcon adapter, or just get a new 18/36 edge connector and re-wire using the Falcon pinout. Here's a link to several Crazy Kong pinouts, you'll want the 2nd one that says "Falcon 1982" (even though it's 1981):

Also note, there's 2 edge connectors on the board, and they're oriented 180 degrees from each other, so make sure you plug into the right one with the right orientation. The easiest way to tell is by looking for the end with ground. There's 3 on one side of the board and 4 on the other all tied together, so make sure you orient the edge connector so the ground is on the right end.

There is a modern power supply in there and that ancient iso in the bottom guess for the monitor I will see if the power supply is working and look at getting a harness made up.


Thank for the help!
 
If this is actually a Starfighter cab, I have a marquee...

I seems to fit the pics I have found but its not in that great of shape I am considering keeping the parts and getting rid of the cab.

The coin door is a trip all metal inside enclosed so you cant get to the mechs.
I have the key for the bottom lock the top is still locked.
