Title: Changing a Championship Sprint harness to a work with Paperboy controls
Post by: bubbaganu on August 20, 2015, 01:27:35 pm
I'm working on taking a Championship Sprint cabinet I have and turning it into a Paperboy-- it's nearly complete but I am wondering if anyone can tell where to find some info on how to change a Championship Sprint wiring harness to work with a Paperboy control panel?   

Thanks!

But then it won't be original.

That seems silly

Why is that silly? It's the same cabinet.  Championship Sprint was sold as a kit to use in Paperboy cabinets-- some were sold in the generic System II cabs, Paperboys are still being sold in the generic System II cabinets as well. I already having a working Championship Sprint and had an extra CS cab with a missing boardset that I used to make the Paperboy. And the parts are being sold to somebody who wants to complete their own Championship Sprint, so I don't see what the problem is-- I'm getting a paperboy- and that's freakin awesome.

I got one crappy pic I took with my crappy phone camera--  all I've done so far is change out the marquee, control panel and I've put in a working boardset. I'm looking for a scan of the side art now so I can make it perty.

I like the sideart that you have. Looks like my paperboy except my atari sideart goes all the way to the top of the cab. Not sure how to transform but i can send you pics of my witing harness etc., if you like.
