Title: Anyone have a Galaga Mini?
Post by: MagicMarc-er on July 08, 2015, 06:02:38 am
Can't seem to get any help on KLOV so, hopefully, someone here can help.

Could anyone please take a pic inside their Galaga cabaret (or full size since it is probably the same) at the wiring where the 6 pins from the monitor chassis plug into the video board?  Would also like a pic of the same wires where they plug into the chassis. 

I've been having trouble understanding one thing on the schematics and those two pics would really help.

Not sure what you need the pic for. The video goes out of the 6 pin header of the PCB and goes right into the monitor with separate cable than the wire harness.

Ian - I am trying to understand how to handle the yellow wire (pin 5 I think on the schematic) is listed as "Yel + Shield Gnd".  It sounds like I'm supposed to tie the yellow wire to a ground wire after it leaves the chassis but it doesn't show up that way on the drawing.  Pull up the Galaga schematic and see if you can tell what I mean.  Any help would be great.

Pin 5 just goes to the ground pin on the monitor input header

Thanks, Ian.  I guess I was over thinking it a bit.
