Karateco kamikaze

[Towerbloke]

Hi all!

I know nothing about repairing arcade machines, I got this cocktail from a house sale.

Can anyone just look at the motherboard photo and see if it's all there, I see repairs of course. Monitor won't power up. I got a new power supply because the old one blew fuses to see if it'll work once I've figured out the wiring lol a photo shows the plug that has two black and two red cables, then one pink cable, just would love to know where to wire up 12v 5v ground and that.

See nothing online for this arcade, no schematics to go to

Thanks

Alan

The pcb looks like an galaxian game board.

Yeah I hear it's a Galaxian clone, might be better getting a new motherboard of some other game, but I don't know about connections, Karateco might all have the same adapters maybe?

Thanks

I've got the upright, it is a Galaxian bootleg. Mine crapped out and I couldn't find schematics anywhere, although probably the same as various other Galaxian bootlegs. I just stuck an original Namco PCB in there, otherwise a tidy cab.
All I could find was this flyer - https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/videogames/show/2766

Great thanks for reply
That would be great to put a Namco board in it if it fits the same connections, what I need to is to know what wires go on the power supply, I'm ok with the ac but I have 5 wires.. two black, two red and one orange.

Looking at Namco on eBay lol

The bootleg board that came in the cab takes DC, so if you want to use a Namco or Midway original board you'll need to do a DC conversion on it, really easy job. I've take a photo but it's not the best, I can map out the wiring and take a better photo if you like I just need to move the cab out when I get chance.
