I have a small collection of classic Cabs (all original) and have just picked up an old empty Dig Dug/Centipede (not sure how to tell the difference).
I started to grab original pieces to restore it (marquee, bezel, sideart...), but I don't have a clue how to wire up an authentic CRT. I know I need an isolation transformer (whatever the hell that is!!).
I am in Chicago, so I have many sources for CRT's.
My goal is to restore the Cab as original as possible with a 60-1.
Then, once my skills improve, to lose the 60-1 and replace with all original.
Sorry for rambling...
I have built many JAMMA cabs with 60-1's but always used VGA monitors.
I have seen the light and only want original now and this is my biggest hurdle!!
Bob Roberts is your answer! He has all the parts you need and tutorials.
http://www.therealbobroberts.netGet yourself a JAMMA harness from Bob Roberts. He has a nice tutorial on how to wire up a JAMMA cabinet:

NOTE: you do not need an isolation transformer with newer CRT monitors. However, all the typical monitors from the 80s require one. Follow Bob's instructions...
