Hiya all!

I'm a newbie here, have been reading left and right, and now I have a question for all of you.



I recently picked up a Jamma cabinet I am currently modifying for MAME, and it came with a WG K7131 25" monitor (you can see my project pics here.

My question comes from a power perspective.  If I were to get a J-PAC, my understanding is that the switching power supply is relatively useless at that point due to there being insufficient load.  That's fine...but what about my monitor?  Do I keep the existing wiring for that, or do I need to hack some cabling to get it powered properly? From what I see, it goes from wall, to filter, to isolating transformer, to monitor.

Gut says keep it the way it is and plug the wall piece into a power strip or something, but since I didn't see anything resembling this topic, I thought I would ask.

Thanks in advance!

yep go with your gut.

Oh and might I add that your current workspace is the envy of probably everyone here--I haven't seen that much free space since my last visit to an empty warehouse

Your power supply is a genuine Peter Chou and they will work fine even with no load connected. The gray color of it's case is a dead giveaway. Peter Chou power supplies are the best arcade power supplies made!

Your monitor AC power is fine as it is.
