I have been working on the internal wiring on and off. Before I started putting in the jamma wiring loom I tested the AC wiring and had the marquee fired up along with the switching PSU where I checked DC voltages and everything looks how it should.
From this picture I just to need to finish this list:
[list type=decimal][*]Common ground distribution block to switching PSU. Need to solder / heat shrink black ground signal wires to make the length of this run.[*]Earth to coin door and control panel latches. Earth has been run to every other metal part within the cabinet. -- Monitor cage, marquee plate, speaker brackets, coin box bracket, each component in the power block.[*]Solder / heat shrink speaker wires. Factory disconnect plug further up by monitor out of shot.[*]Solder / heat shrink wires from jamma loom into video singal cable connectors.[*]Everything coin door and control panel related needs wiring. The big bundle looped front and center in the photo.[/list type=decimal]
I am planning on getting 1 - 4 done then plug everything in a test with the Black Tiger PCB to see what the monitor does.
Looking at this photo there is certainly a part of me which says all of this is very wrong and I should get original parts. The truth to it though is that would take a lot more money and patience - This cabinet owes me a game of Defender big time. I am mounting the game PCB on the right side of the cabinet so if/when I get the original game boards on the metal plate I can mount that on the left side as it was originally.
