Ditching the Astro City/NAC Power Supply
So I already have a thread going for some help getting a power supply to work and I just received 2 more power supplies today that blow fuses instantly. Not to mention I had a Astro a few years back that kept blowing fuses. In fact I traded it for a gutted, ugly Defender cab out of anger. So here I am again. Has anyone converted their Astro to a modern JAMMA switcher? I know I'll have to mount service and test switches. I'm not sure what I will need to do about the degauss. Does the degauss button simply close the circuit on the monitor chassis or is there circuitry in the PSUs that I need to copy? Also, just making sure, but the NANAO MS9 doesn't use a isolation transformer?
