No problem Wunder, sometimes I think my English is pretty good, but i keep learning every day
Well, keep in mind that in Europe we use 230VAC instead of the US 120VAC but the way it is done is exactly the same over-there.
The thing to keep in mind that you always need to connect stuff that runs on the mains power behing the mains switch AND behind the main fuse. This way it's protected and it will turn on and off with everything else (which is kinda handy
).
This sounds simple enough,but I've connected two 230VAC fans on my friend's Star Wars games and I got it wrong there in the first place (fans were running constantly....).
Anyway, the Nintendo is a great cab for this since it has the switch and main fuse right next to eachtother where the mains is connected.
BEFORE YOU START DISCONNECT THE CAB FROM THE MAINS POWER BY REMOVING THE PLUG FROM THE WALL OUTLET !!!
So, of course I removed the old light fixture. I cut of the wire next to the old fixture so we can re-use it on the new one.
On the other side of the wire, I cut of the (american) mains plug that normally goes into the socket at the bottom of the cab. Be sure you cut the right one, on my cab it has WHITE wire, the DARK wire is the monitor plug, that needs to stay on if you like a picture when playing the game
.
Stripped both wires and tinned them with a little solder to make the stranded wire more stiff so it will hold better under the screws on the terminal block.
Next, the two wires are connected parallel to the incoming mains wires (the one's that come from the fuseholder).
See the picture:
Of course, connect the TL fixture as described in the manual that comes with it. Don't forget the earth wire !
