Millipede Power brick problems
So I picked up a Millipede cab that was converted into a World Rally which I wasn't a huge fan of and decided to convert back. The atari power brick was left in the cab but I think the iso transformer was used on the monitor and the rest was run off of a switching PSU. I removed all the world rally stuff and the hacked harness, and put in an original Millipede harness, Millipede PCB and cage, a working AR2-02 I had rebuilt recently, a populated CP and a G07 I had lying around and when I fired her up the monitor and marquee lit up but the board is getting no power. I ran a 5v test on the test points on the board and I'm getting something like .648mv on it. I assume it has something to do with the brick. I checked it and there's a cap across the two larger caps and I'm not sure if that's original or not. I'm wondering if it's been rigged to bypass it's output. I just rebuilt the brick recently for my asteroids and there wasn't a cap attached parallel to the huge one in the brick like this one has.
Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a picture of the bottom of the brick:
