POWER SUPPLY question
BUCKETHEAD:
I have a empty ROLLING THUNDER cabinet,
That im not planning on doing anything with.
I am thinking about making something simple and cheap,
For my Best Friend's little brother. (He wants a ARCADE MACHINE bad!)
I thought about hacking a JAKKS MS. PAC-MAN and putting it in for him.
(He loves my real PAC-MAN cabinet) ;)
My question is this?
I want to put an Arcade power supply in it.
Will the 5+V be enough to run the hacked JAKKS stick?
Or will i need more Juice?
And will i need to put some fuses in between the AC cord and the Power Supply?
I want to light the Coin Door with it to.
I know it will not be functional. But it will give the setup a more realistic feel.
That is why i would like to run everything with an Arcade Power Supply.
Thanks for any suggestions?

RayB:
Do Jakks games come with their own power supply?
BUCKETHEAD:
Yeah,
Batteries.
Which would be a pain in the @ss!
To have to change out when they die all the time.
I know some People have Hacked some JAKKS games here before.
But im not sure how many Volts they require?
And if they can be run off the 5+V on a Arcade Power supply?
I had in mind something like this?
15 AMP Penn-Ray Powertec

Do a search and I bet you'll find what you need, I know for a fact that the required voltage info has been posted here.
SirPeale:
Yeah, it'll work fine. Kind of overkill, though.
You may have a wall wart (wall transformer adaptor) that can work. Just make sure you measure the voltage before hooking it up. Even though it may *say* 5V, it may output much more.
