At any rate, it seems like the power supply for the PC was shot so I threw in a spare one I had lying around. When I boot it up, it gives off two beeps and then, sometime later, a solitary beep. No picture on the monitor, though I hear it powered up (didn't get a chance to really examine the monitor too in-depth.)

It is most likely a video card issue. Either your card got unseated somehow or it fried. I had the same thing happen to me with an Arcade VGA a few months ago. It turned out to be bad. Most of the time you will get nothing at all if it is the Power Supply. Two short beeps is a Post error. The delayed beep probably means video failure. Easy way to know for sure is to try the card in another PC. Or it is simply a plug that you forgot to connect when reconnecting. the power supply, such as the video card or CPU.

Thanks for the advice all.  For some reason I wasn't sure if the beep codes would be the same. Good to know I can go the emulation route if necessary. Does the touchscreen need any special interface to work with MAME? Never even entertained the notion of emulation the Touchmaster.

I'm hoping to have some more time to work on it this weekend.

You have to set it up as a lightgun, but that's it.
