original arcade power switch
« on: June 10, 2005, 02:43:30 am »
I have an old Pacman upright cabinet which I am in the process of coverting to a Mame machine. It still has the original power switch on the top. Is this switch rated high enough in order to run the wires from a switch on a surge protector to it?

Yes it is.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I agree. Most cabs I've seen run the leads from the power cable straight through the power switch.

Your power switch will laugh at you when you wire it up to the surge protector and ask "is that all you've got"?

(Yes, it'll work without a problem.)
