Title: Power connection to cab - first time build (for me)
Post by: b3dr0ck on March 23, 2012, 09:00:09 pm

I'm connecting power / building a new system.  I'm a newb at this, so I don't even know what information would be helpful.

I'm building this cab. into a NEO GEO MVS.  I have all of the parts.  Power is run to the cab.  There is a switch on the side of the cab.  When you turn it on, the cab. light come one (light bulbs in the top).

So ... what do I connect next?  I'm gonna have a WG25" monitor in it.

Thank you.  That is helpful.

So the picture I attached is my isolation transformer, needed for my monitor?

Yes the monitor AC has to be supplied thru the isolation transformer.
