HellO all - greetings from Chicagoland!

After a Pac and Ms Pac restore, I am on my very first Nintendo cocktail. 

Growing up in the 80s, I hope to pass all of what I learn about these machines onto my kids.  The DK cocktail has been a fun project.  After a monitor and board rebuild - a little oil into the original joysticks, new speaker and I was good to go.  I played this table for several hours with my kids.  After some time - the monitor went completely white.  No sound, no coin from service switch. 

I should be testing the PS when time permits.  If I'm not getting the voltage needed, I was going to replace the original PS with one from

These guys went through the trouble of installing a kit onto the new PS.  This makes for a clean install.  Only one issue that I see here...

Where would the transformer come into play here - connected to?  The AC power lines that come with this are for a standup cab with the terminal strip.  I'm assuming because of the monitor usage here, we still need the transformer that runs the table fan and monitor.

Any insight to how the transformer and this new PS would connect would be appreciated.

Thanks!
