Section 2 – Cabinet Conversion

6.Some older cabinets with CGA monitors have an AC isolation transformer that is used to power the monitor. These are often bulky, heavy transformers that take up most of the space on the bottom of the cabinet, and they cannot be removed unless you replace the monitor. If you connect a monitor that requires an AC isolation transformer directly into an AC power source, you will damage the PCB chassis on the monitor.

7.If your cabinet has an AC isolation transformer for the monitor, find the AC power lines that power the AC isolation transformer and splice them to an AC power cord (not provided in the kit), so you can connect this to the AC power strip. You may need to reposition the AC isolation transformer to make room to install the computer on the floor of the cabinet. (Note: The new Wells-Gardner®monitors do not use an AC isolation transformer. If you are installing this monitor, you can safely remove the transformer.)

Remove the Game PCB and Install New Hardware

Caution: Power must be off when connecting boards. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD), handle PCBs by the edges only and use a grounding wrist strap or similar precaution.

1.The Conversion Kit hardware uses the existing Jamma harness wiring for speakers, video (for an existing monitor), and coin inputs. Remove the Game PCB and any other hardware from the old game, but keep the existing DC power supply and Jamma harness wiring in place.

2.Install four small plastic feet from the kit on the Jamma conversion board, and on the UVC if you are installing one.
