Hi Again as some might have read my cab has bit the dust. I had a friend come over and look and he figured out the problem my power board some of the board looked burnt out a piece even fell of when he touched it :eek: I need a new board but where can I buy one inthe US. All I found was this one from coinop
http://www.coinopexpress.com/produc...tching_Power_Supply_for_Arcade_Game_2515.html and this one http://www.coinopexpress.com/produc...tching_Power_Supply_for_Arcade_Game_3517.html The first link looks close to what I have. Also how do I hook the wires onto those metal parts. On mine there are about 17 or so wires hooked up to adapters that go on to little metal parts. Thank you very much :)

You use crimp connectors. You can get them at Ratshack or HomeDepot you will aso need wire stripers and crimpers. Dont worry about spending money on the tools cause you will need them agian now that you are a cab owner.

My board is made by Taito and it is different. It dosn't have metal screws. It like 15 metal prongs that stick out from the side. The look like the bottom of sanwa buttons.

BTW is Bob Roberts power box any better than 8 liners Cherry master. I would rather just use pay pal then have to go get a money order.

Did you try contacting Arcade Infinity about your current situation? I understand that they do sell their cabinets as-is, but still they might fix it up for you. I understand what you are feeling right now, and I too would be pissed for them selling a piece of crap of a cab. Heck if you paid by PayPal, you could ask for a charge back if Arcade Infinity does nothing to correct their wrongs.

Here are some links that might help you:

And here is what he did to replace the power board of an Irem Madonna cab of his:

By the way, the owner of www.hardmvs.com is briggs, a well respect member of these forums. So if you have any questions, he could be quite helpful.

Good Luck,

Charles
