Re: Connectors
Heh, that works too. You can also use shrink tubing on the cable side to make sure if they get bent they'll not short out since there's no housing.
IIRC there's no fan fitted in Invaders and the Astro Wars style cabs. Phoenix/Quasar onwards had fans. One could infer given Quasar is a near identical electrical setup to Astro Wars that it may have been discovered that a fan was needed. I haven't retrofitted a fan back into cabs the never had them, however. The heat problem is not really the game PCB but the monitor - there is a large hot resistor right next to the flyback, and flybacks don't like heat too much...
Coming along nicely, great job! Is your cab missing anything Marco?
