Hey agian whats a good price for laminate ive seen 6 way different prices that are all over the place need to redo boath sides of the cab . also what color and texture should the t molding be on track and field ?? Thanks there are the last 2 pieces to the puzzel got pcb,side art and cpo came today PA does good work thanks all for the help

White paint on sides not laminate. Smooth molding.

So i have 120 volts comming going into the transformer from the line filter but comming out on the line going to the crt i have 125 VAC and on the power supply line i have 107 volts VAC is this cousing the power suppy to max out at 2.7 vDC(5VDC) 7.8 vDC (12 vDC )
1. Power supply hosed 107 VAc ok?
2. Power suppy fine transformer hosed?
3. Both are hosed ?
Thoughts ????? Also best place to get replacments ?
And need a new
Tube crt is a wells garner 19k4901 where can i find a good tube compatabulty chart ??
 Thanks almost done just need to find marquee

Is the power supply a standard switching power supply? Sounds like the adjustment pot is turned way too low. The ac voltages sound fine to me.

switching power, 5 volt adj pot at max (+5 is putting out 2.3 vdc) (+12 vdc is putting out 10.2vdc)(-5 vdc is putting out -1.2 vdc) i think the P|S spiked its from 1982 according to numbers on PS board lots of rust in and on the PS so wheres the best place to buy new ??
P.S found this in the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaLidD9Thfw  its not a common this found ive Been told ?


EDIT: ISO transformer is good didnt read the output line right

Get a new power supply. That one has bad caps

whats the best place to buy haveing a hard time finding them bob roberts is sold out and google keeps comming up with 12vdc only can u/some
 advise ?

tons and tons of places sell them.
