Title: Help with a Williams Dotmation harness issue
Post by: tollguy316 on June 02, 2011, 05:20:49 PM
Hello all.... I am piecing together a Palace of Riches kit.   My issue >>>>>   I need the harness that goes to the triangle shaped lamp board in the top box.    Does anyone possibly have one;  the schematics for one;  one that I could borrow to duplicate ; even a pic of the harness ?      The harness has 16 pins on the end from the machine and 14 pins on the end going to the triangle shaped lamp board in the top box.    I enclosed a pic of the front and back of the lamp board.     Thanks in advance for any assistance .  Bill

Hey Bill, I believe that is the same harness that the non Dotmation Top Cat game uses. I looked at mine and there is a 16 pin plug that goes to the machine and a 14 pin that plugs to the back of the Bonus round Spinner.

Here are the harness part number pics from a New Top Cat Conversion Kit, there is 2 harnesses in the box

The one in my Game kit is the 16 and 14 pin without the 4 pin molex. What does the one with the 4 pin hook to? I did notice that mine would not take paper money, that it only took coins, added credits and paid from the hopper at cashout. I thought it may have been because the game is pre 1994. After I hit the Jackpot on the Top Cat I put in my BBPB and everything worked fine, including the BV. Would this harness  make any difference?

The second Harness is just from the Backplane to the Top Box, the 4 pin connector is for the Candle

The second plug is for the 400s that have a 24 pin with only 4 wires out of it for the candle. I see that in my 400. My 405 already has this in place. Thanks for the info. I am putting that harness in my 400 so I can convert that to my Top Cat game. I happen to have this harness. Thanks for bringing this up.

This also solved the problem I was having with the candlelight. It works!
