Hello, I have a pinball 2000 with prisma card.
I love this machine and I want to improve the experience!
I have some questions:

the power supply is very old,the motherboard has an ATX socket and an AT socket at the momente the 200W power supply is connected to the AT,
but how can I turn on the pc with an ATX power supply ?

I have bad capacitors in the mobo, how can I recap them ? do you know if there is recap kit and a tutorial ?

Can I install a newer pc ? I read something called pinbox / nurcore where can I find more info about that ?

it's a good idea to install a video amp ? the image is not so clear... which one ? there is a tutorial ?
 
+1 on the video Amp. Worth every penny and made the screen on mine back to what it should have been!! - This one https://www.ultimarc.com/arcade-vga-and-video/arcadevga-accessories/arcade-monitor-video-amplifier/


Check this video -

Personally i wouldnt hack the connector like he has done - i would use the existing and chop the cable itself.

Re Caps on Motherboard - How do you know they are bad?

Oh and dont forget - those CRT's store charge at high voiltage for weeks/months... dont touch the Tube Neck!
