IGNORE ORIGINAL QUESTION! Re: Atari vector wiring harness question

Thanks for the response.  Please ignore my question below.  I can get this info from the various manuals.  I will be investigating.  Sorry for the unneeded question.  Thanks,

I think they are very similar.  Not sure about Quantum, but Space Duel & Graviatar are very similar, other then the monitor power, and the plug that "joins" the two harnesses.  Its 6 pin on Gravitar and 4 pin  + 2 pin on Space Duel.  I think its just for speaker and coin lights.
