PC Power Splitter
DaOld Man:
pboreham: yes, blacks are ground. Also know as negative (-). Red and yellow are positives (+). By the way, what kind of marquee light are you using?
Malenko: thanks for clearing that up, I should have been more clear in my post. Working midnight shift seems to make me a little fuzzy headed.
fatfingers: Good idea on the spare power supply. I used a 12 volt 1 amp wall adapter because all I needed was the coin door lamps (about a half amp) and track ball led (about 20 milliamp), so the 1 amp "wall-wart" worked out good, plus it is easily replaced and takes up very little room.
What type power supply did you use? AT or ATX? If ATX, how do you turn it on?

Thanks for the reply - I'm using the new GGG LED based marquee light - I forget the name!

I will be extending my PC power supply tonight to where I need it.
Is it ok to twist the PC Splitters wires and 18 gauge together then cover in (electrical) tape - or is solder better, or solder/tape etc...
Just dont want it to all set on fire!!! :timebomb:
Thanks!
DaOld Man:
Its been a while since ive been on here, so excuse the late reply. Twisting and taping should be fine, just twist tightly and use good quality electrical tape.
Solder is better, but if it is a low current twisting is OK.
How did it turn out?
pboreham:
No worries OldMan - came out ok - like you say, a good twist and plenty of tape.
Got a short video in my blog of all the lights in MaLa attract mode - and the marquee light is working too! Just got to get 2 more splitters for the coin door lights, then I'm sorted! :cheers:
