Arcade Shop just released a much needed solution for your problematic Gottlieb/Mylstar power supply. The “Gottlieb/Mylstar Switching Power Supply Conversion Kit” replaces the original power supply in Q*bert, Q*bert’s Qubes, Reactor, Krull & Mad Planets. Just remove the original power supply board (PSB), install the replacement switching power supply and plug in your factory molex plugs and your good to go.
According to Arcade Shop’s website the kit offers the following advantages.
- Eliminates the +30v power, which is known to burn up the Sound AMP I.C.
- Prevents burning up the Knocker and Interconnect PCB due to short circuit
- +12v is now used for Sound (and the Knocker in Q*bert)
- Game cabinet temperature will be cooler, increasing component longevity
- Heavy duty Power Supply with 4 AMPs on the +12v rail
So, at only $55 there is no reason not to swap out that old power supply. Be sure to check it out today!
