Title: Getting power to your cabinets in your game room Post by: rcrich on February 13, 2016, 09:00:38 pm Hey guys I have been starting a collection of arcade games and was wondering how you guys turn on and off your machines.
I can't get to the on and off switches because they are in the back. I don't want all of them on at once if I just want to play one for a while. Any ideas , my cabinets are next to each other for space reasons.

I am working on rewiring the cabs so the all have the on/off button either under the control panel which easily reachable so they don't turn all at the same time.
Hope this helps. Title: Re: Getting power to your cabinets in your game room Post by: P-feif on February 15, 2016, 09:39:11 pm Wire the outlets to a light switch. If you need to hire an electrician to do it.
