Title: pole position wiring mess! Post by: iankellogg on March 15, 2014, 08:31:11 pm So I got a dead pole position that I am working on now. The wiring harness that is in there currently is a real mess. lots of things hacked in, lots of tape. Missing parts. But thankfully I have an entire cab's worth of parts in a box including a brand new harness!. The problem is, I dont know where stuff goes! There is an extra cap that is wired into the harness but I don't see where it goes. Lots of differences between what is in the cab and what the new harness has. Any help would be fantastic.

I have a PP2 that is waiting on this. My PP2 works, just if I sneeze around it, or look at it wrong, something goes wrong with it. Fun game though!

Post by: lesoleil70 on March 16, 2014, 11:23:29 am Ian I have an intact harness here unmodified - Not that I'm letting it go, I'm also waiting on the multi, but I can get you any pics you need of any particular area of the harness so you can get this sorted, just let me know and I'll upload a video - whatever....
We can do better than this.... (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Atari-Pole-Position-arcade-wire-harness-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/ZwQAAOxydlFSs5R8/$_35.JPG) Title: Re: pole position wiring mess!

Title: Re: pole position wiring mess! Post by: iankellogg on March 19, 2014, 07:23:03 am Well I did the power mod with absolutely no change. Figured I would start reseating chips. I am in big trouble! A lot of chips have broken legs and I am starting to wonder if I am going to have a lot of broken traces. My journey is just beginning.
