Any switching power supply should work, I sprung for Suzo Happ but the Chinese ones are fine too, just don't fire them up unless they are under load.  Might want to get a throw away JAMMA board for test purposes so you don't fry a 400 board on accident.  ;)

I have a Double Dribble board for that exact purpose.

-5 is only needed for a few games, most notably Midway games such as Mortal Kombat , +5 is good for 95% of all JAMMA.

But honestly it sounds kinda like you might want to read up some more before you get started.

There is the Wiki on this site, and Bob roberts also a ton of videos on YouTube.

Don't repair that. Just replace it. Get a good one, like a Happ.
