Title: did I forget anything?
Post by: davellaman on September 22, 2003, 01:30:22 pm: Ok, I bought a power supply/filter/powercable, jamma harness, pcb game, arcade monitor, control panel parts, built my cab, marquee, speakers, t-mold, did I forget anything important?

I know I need to add lights behind the marquee but I am going to wait a few days...

I think it may help if you told us what the game is. If it's Street Fighter II (or any of it's numerous remakes/sequels/whatever) I'm guessing you may need two more buttons.

Embellish a bit... ;)

Did you buy an isolation transformer? Or do you have one of those new monitors that don't need them?

Post by: davellaman on September 23, 2003, 07:12:29 am: Sorry I meant to say the control panel at 6 buttons per player not including the start button. The game is going to be Ultimate Mortal Kombat III..Here is some links to some of the vital supplies, in case you wanted to see what kind.

A/c line filter/ power cable : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3243384834&category=13718&rd=1

My converted Tv monitor: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3242081235&category=13716&rd=1

Do I need a isolation transformer with this monitor?

harness: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3241919046&category=13718&rd=1

15 amp power supply: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3241240238&category=13718&rd=1

Not sure. I think you will, but best to ask the seller. He will know for sure.

If it needs one and you don't use one then it will blow up when you plug it in.

Other then that, am I missing anything....
