Okay..I have an old cabinet that I"m setting up with Mame. The joy of this cabinet was I could use the original marquee light AND the coin slots lit up. Guy even gave me a box of extra lights. Cool. Now...that I have it all painted up and my PC built, I start plugging stuff in and discover that the power supply that came with it (some 150 watt ancient thing) doesn't appear to be turning on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. So, I start looking for a replacement power supply. All I really need is to power the marquee light and the front coin slots and it dawns on me...do i really NEED t a power supply for this? I could easily pick up a $10 light at Home Depot that will plug directly into a power strip for the marquee. But.....what do I do about these front coin lights? Does anybody know of a device or method to convert or connect the molex looking connector coming from the front coin slot lights into a regular 2 or 3 prong outlet? Impossible? Do I need to buy a power supply just to turn on these lights? |

Hold on. Is it an arcade power supply? Those things will shut down if there is no game board connected. Chances are it works, but you don't have a game plugged in... (??) |

................................. :P That's probably the situation because there is another wire that comes out of it that goes to some sort of contraption that has a fuse on it and that draws power because the marquee light comes on. However, the front coin lights ones are fed off a different wire that seems to be dead. The fan never actually spins up on the power supply. Well...bummer...all the more reason to bypass that power supply because I won't have a game board attached. Ideas? A website that sells some sort of adapter or something? anything? |
