I doubt that is isolated.
What model Peter Chou?
You could Ohm the AUX output and see if there is any continuity with the plug that goes into the wall. If there IS continuity....then it is not isolated.

What else is in the cabinet?
What kind of cabinet?
 
here is some pics i got going on here. where does the power go to the brick at the bottom so i can see if that still works.

The Peter Chou supply is just a switcher, and it's powering the game board. It's not an isolation transformer.

The brick at the bottom, however, contains an isolation transformer. According to the manual, the outputs for the monitor are going to be on the 9 position connector, on pins 5 and 8. Interestingly enough, it seems that the power supply and the fluorescent light is also on isolated power. Seems kind of odd, but whatever.

Look at the wiring diagram in the manual to see what's going on.

Are you getting 120v on the monitor's connector in the wiring harness?

no volts is 0. I am using extenstion power cables to the monitor from my centipede right now.I need. To find where to put the 120vac in just to power the brick

Look at the wiring diagram in the manual.

Input to the brick is on pins 1 and 2 of the 15 pin connector. It's fused through the 4A fuse, so check that too. Output from the fuse is on pins 3 and 9.

Thx.I will look at it tonight.I picked this up and apb for 50 bucks apiece said to be broken. It looks like pretty minor stuff to fix.
 
So this is a factory Rampage cabinet then ?
If so, then yeah..... get out the manual.

I just assumed it was some kind of conversion beings it had the Peter Chou in it.
But I see now in those pics they just bypassed the original power supply.

yea they bypassed it but never finished the job, for whatever reason.the game works but was playing blind since they never hooked up the monitor. would have gotten a couple hundred for it if they finished what they started instead i got it for 50 bucks.
 
got it hooked up and is powering the monitor on its own. what threw me off was i didnt know where pin 1 started.
