I take no responsibility if you fry your PSU, fry your DC, or kill your cat standing near-by.
1) radio shack has part # 276-209 that looks to handle 2v to 12v
2) the longer leg of the LED goes to the +5, shorter leg goes to ground
3) the Astro does not have a sound amp, sound comes from the Jamma PCB, and is routed to a sound knob on the PSU that then connects to the speakers. If you have an MGCD board for your DC, the sound amp is on the PCB with a small potentiometer which is the primary sound control. If you have a homemade DC to Jamma setup, you will need a sound amp to power the cabs' 8ohm speakers (search for SA-155 on ebay) and either connect the left (mono) side through the Jamma harness, or run your own wires directly to the speakers for stereo goodness (you can probably hack the molex connector to make this easier).
