How to power a neon license plate frame?
Nephasth:
Yea, wire it up to 12V from the cab's power supply.
Mario:
Is it real or fake neon? I believe real neon would require a fairly high amperage to initially light it, and a PC/cab's power supply may not be powerful enough, or it may blow. If I were you, I'd either try it with a spare power supply, or use a separate supply.

its most likely a cold cathode

I'm a total noob with dedicated arcades.
They have a 12v power supply?
Really?
So I can just grab the wire, splice into it & then habe both game/license plate powered?
Are we talking about the marquee fixture wire or something different?
BobA:
x2 says this will power any light they sell.
12 wall wart
The one you listed earlier is cheaper and has 2x the amperage at 12V.
