Coin Door wiring to PC power supply
« on: December 12, 2011, 01:50:15 am »
I've done some reading on this question, but haven't found a definitive answer yet.  I've got an original Killer Instinct 2 cab that I'm using for mame.  I'm trying to wire up the original coin door lights.  Looking at the manual, it shows a -5V line going to them.  Unfortunately, my newer PC power supply does not have a -5V output available.  Would using the +5V (red wire) of a molex connector on the internal PC power supply be ok?  Will I blow the lights due to there being more amps over the +5V line?


Thanks.

Yes you actually can wire them up with the +5v on your power supply. I did it and the bulbs for the coin door lights are #555 Incandescent lamps, t-3-1/4 bulb, wedge base, 6.30 volt, 0.25 Amp you can order online like I did or williams part # 24-8768, Data East/ Sega/ Stern part # 165-5002-00, Gottlieb/ Premier part # LA-2. I ordered them from the game room guys www.gameroomguys.com just put in the search box...#555 pinball light bulb lamps they come in a box of 10. I home that helps  ;D

Yes it does.  Thank You for the confirmation.  It took me a while, but after reading and finally understanding that Amps are pulled and Voltage is constant, I'm not as worried anymore.
