POWER SUPPLY question
BUCKETHEAD:
Thanks for the confirmation Peale.
Yeah i know kind of OVERKILL.
But i want to use a ARCADE power Supply to light the Coin Door.
More Realistic touch. ;)
But this way? Do i need to put some fuses in between to AC cord and the Power
Supply?
Or can i hook the cord straight up to the Power Supply?
Thanks!

The Jakks use 6v so turn up the +5V output on the arcade power supply. Why not just put a surge protector plug strip in the cabinet and plug the TV and the power supply into that? The plug strip will have a fuse and you can power both off one cable.
Check out my thread HERE to see how I hacked three Jakks controllers into one cabinet and one set of controls.
I used three different 6v wall warts, but I may buy one switching power supply like you suggested and wire all three of them into it. The output on that power supply is 15amps which would be way more than enough for three of these babies.

I read your posts. I found them very informative.
I plan on using some of your tips! ;)

Nicest mini-pac ever. It's inspiring me to do a bartop pac with leftover MDF. If my wife will let me. ;)

Make sure to measure the voltage with a multimeter. The Jakks unit will run fine with a lower voltage. Too low and you'll notice graphics errors.
