No you don’t need the switching PSU. It’s only needed for an original PCB arcade game. DO NOT remove the monitor isolating transformer if one is fitted.

the only exception to the you dont need the psu rule that I have found is if the cab is using one of the hantarex us-250 psu's as these also provide the isolation to the monitor (or here in the uk stepdown to 110v and isolation)
