POWER SUPPLY question

Pages: (1/3) > >>

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.
