I'm trying to put my arcade parts back into working order. Everything is re-hooked up, but the thing didn't power on properly. I think it's because what's left of the Power Switch when I took the old cabinet apart was damaged in storage. Is there anyway I can wire it to start without a power switch being pressed, or even wire it so it's 'permanent' on when plugged in, untill I get a second power switch?
I'm going to try and take a good snapshot of it so you can get a better idea, but for now, here's a facebook shot...

It was from an old wizards of war cabinet if memory serves, if that helps anyone identify the power switch. The actual switch seems to be missing, but the 'innards' the switch was connected to are obviously still there and hooked up..

You should post that pic on here. I dont have a facebook account, the link you posted wont let me see the pic.
If it is just a power switch, you should be able to tie the two wires together.

Well, we just spent an hour with one of the electricians in the office going over it, and all we've been able to determine was OHM readings and that the wiring was a mess.
If anyone can help us identify the components on the board, or point us to some websites with directions on how it's SUPPOSED to be wired, we can do some research to make this much easier :).
Thanks!
First order of business is to get all the dead wires taken out that don't go anywhere. And re-organize the ones that work into a neat level of organization
