Or just rip apart a cheap pair of powered computer speakers.  That's how I get my audio amps for MAME setups.

That's one of the things I'll be looking at when I hit Fry's...  I acutally tested it with a spare hacked up PC speaker amp I had laying around from my MAME(tm) compatible project, but they run off 9v AC - need to find a set that runs off 12v DC.

Oh yeah, duh!  I wasn't even thinking about it being 12v DC.  :P

Actually I ended up using the amp board that I'd tested yesterday after all.  Picked up some molex headers and did some soldering so I didn't have to cut into the cabinet's wiring harness.  Scraficed an old extention cord and spliced it into the marquee light power lines with some vampire taps.  That gave me a switched power outlet I could plug the power adapter from the PC speakers into.  Works great!  Now all I need to do is pick up some of those nylon allen wrenches so I can adjust the width (height) of the screen, do some degaussing, and the machine should be functionally mahvelous and ready to start on the cosmetic stuffs.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Raven..:
Congratulations!  That's great man.
