Where to connect power for coin lights?
« on: August 17, 2013, 06:21:34 pm »
So my coin slot lots weren't working in the cab I just bought. Traced the cord back and it ends in a metal Y connector (like you'd put under a screw) not attached to anything. Where do I connect or solder this to get power? The cab is from 1982 (Taito Jungle King converted to Double Dribble) and has the original power supply from what I can tell.

5v or 12v from the power supply. hook them up to the 5v and see if its bright enough. Prolly 12v bulbs but if they aremt, they wont last long on a 12v rail.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
