Yeah, but I'm still not sure, if it's also work with a Namco Galaxian pcb. ???
I really don't want to burn it.

O wow, this is definitly meant for a Midway Galaxian board !

I don't know about the Namco boards if they have different pin-out. Are there any schematics of the Namco board around ?

I would carefully bend up those two pins using that jumper, not sure if it's "on" far enough...(you could measure to check).

I also have a non-worker Midway under repair, so I will have a good use of this. ;)
The Namco pinout looks similar, but I'm not sure about those AC/DC voltages

Sorry for digging this old thread, guys.

I'd like to replace the monitor in my Galaxian with a decent TV and I'd like to test it with the PCB before I start the process.

How do these adapters work? I mean, is there anything with the voltages? Galaxian needs 7VAC and 12 plus and minus?

Mike'sarcade has them and there's one for sale in Sweden at the moment. But before I buy one of these I'd like to get some info about it...if there is more necessary to run a Midway Galaxian PCB :)

Thanks

I'm pretty sure that our old german friend bencao74 is able to build an adapter for you in addition. Drop him an e-mail.

I don't think it's that easy because of the necessary voltages in AC!!

You wanna run the pcb in a jamma cabinet, or do you wanna make a test harness? Or just a test cable to run between your cabinet and the tv scart?

At first I'd like to test the PCB with the TV I'm planning to use. So a simple test harness would do the job: voltages, video (RGB/Sync)

Second stage would be running the TV inside the Galaxian cab with a Scart-cable :)

My Galaxian used to have a TV inside. No need for an adaptor for that, just cut off the monitor plug and wire them to a SCART connector.

I had some small sync issues with the TV I used though.

A long time ago a great guy started a great thread about hooking up a SCART TV to arcade hardware right here:

My dc converted Galaxian pcbs don't work with the official adapter in a jamma cab.
