Picked up some 'mostly' working PCBs today, along with a mostly spare set of boards (2 of 3) with Spy Hunter, more Tapper, and Tron ROMs! Now...to find the rest of the machine....

Why is the linear power supply so expensive online?

Are there any other games that used the Tapper cabinet style? Having a hard time finding any information like that.

If your MCR power supply is working, I wouldn't touch it.

I don't have a power supply yet! :-P I'm scavenging for parts. Have anything extra you want to sell for a Tapper?

From another thread, this cabinet guide is amazing:

Looks like I can get away with a Tapper, Root Beer Tapper or Timber.

I have an ATX power supply from a computer that I'm not using. Since Midway games don't use -5V, this should work just fine for Tapper, correct? I found an ATX->Midway converter at Cambridge Arcade but I'm not sure if he's actually still selling parts.

http://cambridgearcade.dyndns.org/?q=node/57

Without this part, what's the best way to use the ATX power supply in building the Tapper? Thoughts?
