I'm trying to gather parts for a couple projects to work on over the winter.  One of the cabinets I'm going to be doing is a Nintendo cabinet.  I have a Sanyo monitor and PCB, but none of the other internals.  I'm going to need to make a wiring harness and get power.  I see that there are switching power supply adapters available for the PCB, but what about the Sanyo monitors?  I also know these monitors have been used in Atari and other games.  Do I need a special isolation transformer to get the 100v? 

I'd prefer to use a real Nintendo power block.  Anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks!

Yes you need a 120v to 100v isolation transformer. A Nintendo one is a good choice, universal cabinets have 100v in them too,

Might I suggest that rather than getting a bench supply, just get a long extension cord like a 25' or 50' and plug in into the 100v output in one of your Nintendo cabinets and run the extension over to your bench.

Now you don't have to drag the game over to your bench or the monitor to the game.
