lighted buttons
bsoder52:
OK,
I built my cab months ago and I installed two blue lighted buttons instead of a coin slot.
The buttons came with a little light bulb in each, but I had no idea at the time how to hook them up.
Could anyone give me a quick and easy explanation of how to hook them up properly so the lights work?
Functionally they work fine, you press the button and MAME chalks up a credit.
Thanks in advance!
You guys are the shiznit as Snoop would say

What voltage light did you get? Incandescant or LED?
If it's 6 or 14v, you can run it from the computer power supply.
If it's 28v, you need a seperate power supply. (wall warts). Use a DC adapter for the LED version.

hmmmm,,,,,,good question.
I have no idea and I didn't save all my invoices so I don't know the part number unfortunately.
What do you suggest I do, wire the button to my power supply and see if it lights up?
I'm definately no electrician, and I've never wired anything to my power supply before.
I'm assuming the I would wire the unused "leaf" on the button to wire to the powersupply.
Any help with this or suggestions would be awesome! I'm having a party this weekend and would LOVE To have those buttons lighted up!
Thanks in advance again guys!
