So because the new power supply doesn't have the 4 pin connector I can't use the  cabinet top mounted on/off switch.

I'm thinking I'll take a power supply cable and cut it in half, wire the switch in to it on the way to the power supply.

That'll get power to the machine and to the marquee lamp. 

If I could have found a schematic for the old power supply I could confirm if that switch can handle the amperage. really like that switch I think it's original to the cabinet.

I'm just not certain If the power switch can handle the amp draw of the entire machine,maybe that's what it was intended to do or maybe the old powe supply had that power switch on a relay, anybody know?


Thanks

You could wire in a 115v contactor that is toggled by the power switch.

I used one in my control panel build for my homebrew setup.

If I am working with over 5 amps and do not want to have to pull a plug, I will wire in a kill switch too.  Never pull a power cord that is smoking from the wall lol...

Also the contactor, takes the burden of the load and not the switch. So as long as you had a 115v switch it should be fine. Or I could be wrong. ;)
