powering monitor, marquee and coin door
subedriver:
Wasn't sure were to start this at so if it's in the wrong place will a mod please move it? That being said I'm bout ready to finally put my pc in my cab. I have read that I should remove the old power supply thats in the cab right now. Doing this how will I wire the marquee, monitor and coin door lights to plug into a normal power strip? I'll be keeping the original monitor and using soft 15khz for the video signal. Here is the video card I bought for it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350124307373
I will be wiring the power strip to a main switch on top of the cab and wiring the pc power to a regular happ pushbutton.

As far as I can tell this is the monitor: Philips mva48abk05x. It says isolation transformer must be used. I will be using a jpac also.

That's the tube. Take a look in the monitor forum, esp regarding "monitor ID".
As for the rest, you can leave the power supply in the cab as long as you disconnect the power going to it. You'll burn it out, otherwise.
If you have one of those cabs that has the power to the monitor coming through the power supply...well, we'll burn that bridge when we come to it. Let's see some pictures of the insides of the cab.

I actually read through that last night and figured I had posted the tube number. I looked at it again this morning and can't find anything i.d. ing it. Here is a link to the photobucket that has pics of the monitor and power setup that I took this morning. http://s126.photobucket.com/albums/p115/jonelmore/

You have a K7000. And a separate power supply (Peter Chou style). Easiest J-PAC setup of all.
If you want to play actual arcade PCBs just wire a switch inline on the AC power going in to your power supply, that way you can turn it off when you switch it back to the J-PAC.
