Hello. I have a Capcom Q25 cabinet that I've been restoring and looking to turn in to a MAME cabinet. When I purchased the cab it was complete, missing only a PCB.
I stripped the cab out and haven't put anything back. Living in the UK I thought I could simply plug the monitor in to a 220v-110v stepdown transformer and that would be fine. I've connected the monitor to a 300w transformer, and run a seperate wire for Ground in to the wall socket, so that should be taken care of.
Then I rad a little and start hearing about Isolation Transformers. So my question is, how can I tell if I need one and if the PSU I took out of the machine is one or not? It has a model number "CPS-001A-7A" but I've been unable to find any documentation about this or the cab anywhere online. Here is a picture of the PSU:
Other pictures of the cab can be found here:

Thanks,
Matt
