moniter for space invaders

[RICHE100]

ive managed to source a moniter and chassis for my midway space invaders machine .

got a couple of questions :

how do i test it before i install it into the machine ?

its got a jap plug on it ? do i need to plug it into something like a adapter ?

im looking at using the whole thing tube and chassis and getting rid of my broken wells chassis for now ..

please let me know regards

Hi,

Even though it has a JAP plug on it, it still needs an isolation transformer, probably a 100v (rather than 110-120v one), what model is the chassis?

It was custom in quite a lot of jap cabs to have plug sockets dotted around inside for the monitor, lighting etc.. but these were all fed from the transformer and not from the mains (the monitor that at least).

The only way to test it would be to snip the plug off and wire into a tranny, or wire up a box for the plug.

its a t202 or t203 it says on the chassis

so if i snip wires and stick them into the midway space invaders machine molex block that shoul dbe ok as thats fed from a transformer isnt it

It *should* be okay, at worst the Midway space invaders is supplying 120v and that might expect a 100v supply, but it shouldn't do any damage short term anyway. Connect the chassis GND, even if just testing.

its a 240v 2 pin plug does that matter ?

also thats the power sorted , now i have to take the red/white and blue and white from edge connector to here



is that right ?
