Asteroids Monitor Swap Question??

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

I want to get this figured out once and for all, I have an Asteroids
that needs a monitor.
I have a Wells-Gardner 19V2000, and as far as I know Asteroids came
with a G05-802/805.
So my problem is, the wiring harness in my Asteroids has a flat plug
for the monitor, and the WG moniotr uses a type of AMP or MOLEX
connector, Is there some way I can make and adaptor?
KLOV states that a 19V2000 is a direct plug-in replacement? am I
missing something? I have 2 full Asteroids wiring harnesses, and their
both the same.
Thanks
Dave

Dave,
No need to make an adapter. Bob Roberts has you covered. There's one on
his site.

Bob's adapter only works if you have the right power supply.

Earlay asteroids came with a G05/801.
Some 801s were configured to work at 35V, and some were configured to
work at 25V. G05/805 works at 25V, so if you have a high voltage
power supply, you'll toast the new monitor even with the adapter.

Thanks Mark!!
Thats good to know, so I guess I need to see what the voltage is, and
maybe find an G05-801.
