I have seen some on amazon with power supply for less than $100. That was wiring kit, ps, and card. What else will I need? I mainly only care about a few of the classics, donkey kong, ms.pacman, galaga, etc; also what decals are there for these multi game units? Thanks in advance!

If it's an original Ms. Pac, keep it looking like a Ms. Pac. If it's a conversion then go with whatever art work you feel like. (My personal opinion).  Other than the JAMMA harness, you'll need an extra button for the fire button for things like Galaga, DK, etc.

I understand the lure of a multi game cab. I will let you know that if it is truely a Ms. Pac you can keep the original harness and get a Ms. Pac to JAMMA adapter and avoid having to do that wiring. Then if it ever gets converted back everything is still in place.

Here is a place  I found when I was researching multicades for myself. https://www.phoenixarcade.com/product-category/multicade-arcade-classics They have a great control panel that is for multicade it has 3 fire buttons spaces and a place for a trackball and of course a joystick, all sold separately of course . It will fit right up to your ms pac machine. They also have cabinet artwork if you choose to change it. If you google multicade kits it comes up with a lot of great sites also. Good luck

THanks guys, its surely not an original cabinet, https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4qyCj4EfQj1NlI1ZDRaajhPRG8?usp=sharing been fooling with it today, replaced all bulbs, checked ps voltages, all is good, but nothing works. Zero power to anything. Not sure where to go from here, kind of wanted to know what worked and what didn't before I bought the jamma converstion kit.

The cabinet you have there looks like a Scramble cabinet here is a link to KLOV that shows the scramble cab .https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9447 , the game was made by Konami. Most of its art work was stenciled onto the side. YouTube is a great place to get info on Jamma conversions , I want to build my own Rasberry Pi bartop so I have been looking at those vids a lot lately. You should also join KLOV.com . Killer List Of Video Games  , lots of help forums there and the people I have dealt with there are super friendly and willing to help.
