Ok so I know that the two orange are for a switch, But I don't know what the grouped 3 wires and the single wire coming from the fuses go to. I'd assume 2 go to the power supply and the other 2 go to the monitor AC but I'm unsure if thats right and if so which.






Heres a pic:

Here is Bob Roberts site on wiring up ac in a cab. It is a pretty good read and something everyone should learn at some point.

Not sure about your monitor there, looks like it may need a couple cables.

Mine is different then bobs..... also I found the monitor AC plug which has a white and black, leaving me with 2 green.... Do I have to split the white and black so I can run them to the power supply? Then I would put one of the greens on the COM of the power supply?

First off... stop with the videos until you can keep the camera stable. Makes me want to puke.

Black is Hot
White is Neutral
Green is ground

The Black will go to the fused side of the AC input to the chassis, White will go to thew other lead. Green will go to the frame.
 
I'd gut and rewire it similiar if not the same as bobs diagram. It works and it will make it easier to troubleshoot later. - Barry

Well really All I need to know now is how to get power to the power supply(like where the white and black go on the power supply as theres two AC spots) and then I can put a wire from them to the monitor AC and it should work.
 
The white and black shouldn't matter to the power supply. There should be 2 marked AC just hook one to each. The green coming in on the ac line should be grounded to the chassis of the power supply (like one of the mounting bolts). The monitor should have black and white as well as the green grounding the frame. To be safe I make sure anything metal in the cab is grounded to the green coming in to avoid possible shock in the event of componant failure. - Barry

ok...... So I have 2 green, 1 black and 1 white coming from the fuses which are coming from the transformer. The power supply currently has no AC. The monitor has no AC.
The monitor needs the black/white. WHERE DOES THE POWER SUPPLY GET ITS POWER. All I have is the wall, the transformer, the powersupply, the monitor/chassis and the game board. This is the same configuration as when the game worked before it was gutted.
 
Post pics of exactly what you have and I'm sure it can be figured out. This is why I think it's much easier to look at bobs diagram and wire it that way. Much less confusing. and typically the only thing in the cab needing the transformer is the monitor, unless it's nintendo and a few others. - Barry

I posted a video showing what I have....................................................................................
 
OK.
1. - what is the grey wire on the switcher going to?
2. - looking at the pic on the fuseholders the black and white should be your hot and neutral so take the white to A/C N and the black to the A/C L and run a green ground wire to one of the mounting bolts when you screw down the PS.
3. you should also be able to come off that white and black for the monitor A/C power. -

Alright, I'll bite.
Black goes from wall (cord) through one fuse, then to AC/L on your PS,
White should not be fused, it should connect to the AC/N terminal on your PS (N stands for neutral) that other fuse is most likely for something else requiring a hot (like the marquee)
Green goes to the terminal with the symbol that looks like an upside down tree in a circle.
The other ground most likely distributes to all metal parts in the cab like the monitor chassis, CP , coin door, etc...

Grey wire is an extension for a earth ground wire. I don't understand where your telling me to put the last earth ground? Do you mean when I screw it to the cab put the earth ground on the screw?
 
you can use the terminal or just ground it to the chassis of the power supply. and yes with a loop to the screw mounting the power supply - the field ground terminal and the chassis of the power supply are one and the same.- Barry

Alright, Its late(Or early I guess) so I'll see if the monitor blows up tomorrow or not hahaha.
