hey all. i am attempting to take everything out of a cabinet (NOT the monitor, that broke and is the reason for this project) and put it back together in a much smaller package - one that will sit next to my TV and i can roll out and play whenever i want. i have a few specific questions:
- i am capable of cutting and reconnecting all the wires i need to for the speaker, the controls, and the coin-op module. all of those piece are coming with but needed to be severed for disassembly. BUT, not all the video wires are identifiable. there are six coming out of the video-out on the board, five were going into the broken monitor, and i have five leads on my JROCK video converter. how can i identify which is which? i have the monitor connector intact, so if it's standardized right to left, that would work.
- the power supply is intimidating for me. i don't know so much about electricity as i like to think i do about electronics. the cabinet has a contemporary power supply, and very old looking components, one of which is a fuse breaker, the other of which i'm less sure about but since the monitor power was coming from it it seems to be an amplifier or some other sort of pass-through for power to the monitor. i don't know what to make of these things, and haven't cut any of the wires. is there a guide to working with power supplies? the power cord is also very old, but the three parts of it are very straightforward.
i have some photos i can post but i wanted to get this up in a hurry to see if anyone could help. i will be back around 6:30 EDT and WILL respond to questions and requests for pictures.
