Hi all,
I'm in the middle of restoring my Donkey Kong machine and am putting in a new switching power supply. I purchased the Arcadeshop adapter, so I'll be using it.
My question is in how much of the existing power setup I need to keep.
Theoretically, could I run a power setup similar to the Bob Roberts "drop-in AC Center" (http://homearcade.org/BBBB/accenter.html) and power the Sanyo 20EZ monitor off the isolation transformer from that setup? Besides the PCB, monitor, marquee light and the +24v coin counter, is there anything else getting a direct draw from that power supply that I'd have to worry about? Does the audio amp board that is part of the Sanyo 20EZ monitor need its own power source? It appears on my setup that the Sanyo 20EZ monitor is getting power directly from the 2 outlet strip in the cabinet, that sounded odd to me for some reason.
Any help on how to wire this sucker up with the new switching power supply would be appreciated. I'm good on getting power to the PCB from the switcher, so no worries there.
I've done the power supply conversion routine on Midway cabinets (Galaga, MsPac, Super Pac, & Burgertime), but this is my first Nintendo one, so I'm learning as I go.
Thanks,
Greg
