Wow! First one not relating to Gyruss, it's working fine.
I am thinking about buying a broken game: a Missile Command. It has a dead power supply and is missing a PCB, I think I have a lead for a pcb for $100, but can I replace the old PSU with a switched power supply?
The guy is pretty sure that the harnesses are there, and the monitor seems to work too. Is it worth $150 for the cab and monitor?

I'd try to pay $100 if possible. I rebuilt the original power supply on mine. There is no good switching power supply alternative.

Ok, how hard is it to rebuild the power supply? Is there a common problem?

If you are sure you can get it working buy it.  Looks sexy in a game room.
