Title: TEST BENCH POWER PLUGS
Post by: ddstoys on July 25, 2010, 08:43:55 PM

Today i finally got sick of attaching Alligator clips to my CPUs for bench testing and running the risk of shorting things out or connecting them wrong i decided to make some individual plugs.

  Here is a photo of my Williams System 3-7 and Bally SS cpu plugs now its as simple as plugging the board in and switching on the arcade power supply.

As needed ill make up a plug for each type of CPU or board i work on

That is a really good idea - I'm always nervous that I'll short something or just be a baffoon and hook up something wrong.
