Old 80's cab from the USA. I don't trust the power cable as there's a 20cm section that's been 'repaired' and heavily taped.
What's the best way to replace this - like for like from the US or do i swap it out for a UK plug (involving some transformer rewiring i believe)?
I do have an Airlink on order so am happy to stick with US plug if its just easier and i guess true to the original.
Any recommendations and advice appreciated.

i would replace it with either a 2m length of .75mm / 1mm 3core or a short length and a power inlet connector.
but whats the game? i want to check the cab schematics

Thanks - it an original Ghosts'n Goblins cab.
Act I hadn't thought (tho it's obvious) but I could put the Airlink inside the cab and then just have a short length I guess, so cutting out the repair. Trouble is those airlink transformers are pretty large and don't come with a very long cable themselves so not sure it'd work.

dont think capcom made cabs for the u.s. market - any idea on a manual?
is the transformer fitted with mutiple input taps?
does it have a switching psu with universal input or a 110/230 switch?

The dedicated g'ng cabinet was made by Taito/Digital Controls. Here's some pics of psu (not sure if this is original) and the internal transformer.
