You solder to the tabs on the switches.
You can use that power supply, but it'll be a lot easier if you get a replacement Peter Chou style power supply with the screw lugs.

Alright, well I'm also making a Robotron cab, so maybe it'll be easier/cheaper if I wired the JAMMA harness through that one instead.
I actually have a power supply, but I'm not sure what kind or how to wire it.
I know that the two wires I have hooked up to the power supply are suppose to go to the monitor (and apparently it doesn't matter which one goes where as long as they both go to the monitor.) I think that the two wires coming out of the transformer (is that right? The ones by the green pencil) should go to the AC on the power supply, but idk if it makes a difference of which one goes to which. I'd assume it doesn't because both the labels are 'AC'.
Oh, and apparently wire 'splicing' is frowned upon here. Does anybody know any way I can get this working without 'splicing'?
RayB:
Proper way is to use those screw-on plastic things. I don't know the proper terminology. Masking tape on 120v AC is a fire risk.
SirPeale:
Depends on how you're splicing it.
For smaller stranded wires, the BEST way is to strip 1" from one, and 1/2" from the other. Place a piece of shrink wrap on one of them, and wrap the 1" length around the 1/2". Then solder the connection, and use the shrink wrap to shield it from touching things it shouldn't.
For larger stranded and solid wires, bare 1/2"-ish, place them SIDE BY SIDE (don't twist them together) and use a "wire nut" to join them.
At a bare minimum electrical tape should be used - and only temporarily until a permanent solution can be provided. NEVER use any other type of tape - especially masking tape!
