Lizard lick and jamma boards sell a fused emi filter with built in switch just wondering how many of you guys use them?

my konami cab had 4 fuses and a stand alone emi filter. the wiring was pretty crazy. 2 fuses between AC power from the power supply to the Iso transformer, then the other 2 fuses were between AC power from the outlet to the power supply. then the emi filter was also wired into all that.

I removed all of it. I figure any one thing in that old power setup could go at any time and cause the game to stop working.

I installed the the new fuse and filter power module and cleaned up all the wiring. much simpler now. Anybody else do this?

here's the module: http://www.jammaboards.com/store/power-emi-filter-with-built-in-switch/prod_279.html

I've used them in equipment cabinets at work. They do simplify wiring a lot, and I like being able to unplug the cord from the back when moving the equipment, or use different lengths of cord, instead of having something hard-wired. I guess with an arcade cab, you'd need to figure out a clever way to mount it, which might be more work than just wiring up a separate EMI filters and fuse holder. How did you do yours?

I put mine where the old power cord used to be. it fit right in. it's right below the backdoor. I guess placement might be an issues with different types of cabs though.

by the way, I just noticed you're from Ottawa. I'm also from Ottawa. I never knew Klovers existed in Ottawa! lol
