alfonzotan:
I could really use some advice on where to tap the 120V connections on the transformer block to feed the new power supply. That "D" I got in Circuits II a couple of decades ago is coming back to bite me in the ass...

yotsuya:
Just played Kickman on my cabinet. Man, a dedicated one might be a lot of fun.

Not sure if anyone sells decals for this? Even if they did, I think they would look terrible. For $40 you can get it silk screened like it was done originally. I say do it right.

alfonzotan:
Okay, sanity check time here... this is a shot of the transformer block in Kickman:

The two black-and-white wires on the right, soldered to the iso, go up the wire path to the monitor, meaning if I've done my homework correctly, this should be the place to tap 120V for the new switching power supply. What's the best (safest) way to do that, desolder and run new leads from the iso outputs here to a junction block, then attach the corresponding wires for the monitor and PSU?

Note: the white/black outs on that transformer are outputting a steady 124.4v.

UPDATE UPDATE: Ah, okay, this makes sense now. The ArcadeShop adapter is supposed to include clip-on wires for the AC power. Mine didn't. Email sent...

Agreed. I would spring the $40 for a silk-screened one!
