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,
Joe

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.
