My mk1's transformer is a fuse destroyer need help!!!

[KevinMullins]

Use a multimeter to check for continuity from where the monitor plugs into the transformer harness all the way to the plug that plugs into the wall.
(if that makes any sense)

If your monitor is plugged into the proper part of the transformer there will NOT be any continuity from the two pin plug that the monitor plugs into and the three prong plug that goes into the wall.

Can you grab a better picture from the back of your cabinet showing where the monitor is actually plugged into?
Not too close, enough to see monitor, cords, transformer, etc.

I will need more fuses to test this out. Once I'm done I will update this thread.

Thanks

Stop burning through fuses

Buy some Circuit breakers like here:

But its fun! Anyways I want to thank everyone who helped me. Time to end the thread! So I checked all the wires and remembered that I'm running mame! So I take a look at the cables for the power supply and found they were charred and they kept on touching each other and shorting out, then blowing the fuse. So I taped it up and everything now works! Monitor and mame are now up! I just want to say it one more Thanks again everyone!

Thanks

Do you have any other games with an iso? If so, try using that cab's power connector to power your monitor.

A loud hum from the iso is usually a bad sign...
