For future reference, why?

You should read Bob Robert's lengthy page on proper game wiring:

Ken Layton:
The isolation transformer isolates the monitor's "hot" chassis from everything else and provides you a degree of safety if you touch that chassis so you don't DIE! If you connect anything else on the output side if the isolation transformer it's no longer isolated or safe.

If you do connect other things to the output side of the isolation transformer you will destroy/damage your switching power supply, game board, AND monitor immediately upon power up! All that happens in less than two seconds.
Apollo:
Thanks for your replies so far. OK so lets say I have a power supply that takes 105V and I have it connected to one side of my transformer which has a 105V output. What connectors on my power supply do I connect the 2 red wires to? AC & AC?
