I´m not familiar with those boards but i´m sure any switched power supply with a +5VDC and +12VDC output will work.

Pictures of the existing power supply will help, not sure if using standard arcade power supply (like the picture in previous post), or computer style power supply.

If you are using a jamma multi game a standard power supply will work decent.
hollandcomputers.com has some decent cheap ones.

Thought I'd Jump on the bandwagon here.

I need a new Power Supply for a 1982 Time Pilot standup.  It looks like a standard AC/DC switching supply.  +5v/-5v/+12v

This is your very basic power supply:

I have used them many times. Work well and they are cheap.

This is fine for the Time Pilot

Thanks John - Ordered two off his ebay site.  Shipping was cheaper than buying it on his normal website.  Who woulda thunk it?

I bought two...one for a backup or a future machine?

Thanks to you...I've got 7 games now(Started in Nov.2014)

(2) Lightning SkeeBalls ($350 each)
(1) Time Pilot ($180)
(1) Sega HangOn ($220)
(1) Sega Turbo Outrun ($160)
(1) Midway Hydro Thunder Sitdown (My Jewel) ($700 - $5.75 in quarters I found under the coin bucket)
(1) Megatouch XL (Free, from the guy I bought the Sega Turbo Outrun from...just need to get it working.)

I think I'm stopping here for now...The wife is giving me some funny looks!!!

Thanks again to your site, youtube channel and this forum and all members. I'm learning a lot and having fun.  My 15yr old boy is learning alongside me too.  Someone has to carry on the legacy.

would this power supply work for asteroids or centipede?
