Thank you! Cheers!

Fantastic guide, thank you. At in the UK so also use 240V standard. I may have missed this but did you just ditch the original Astro PSU? The sort of flat rectangular one, in favour of the switching PSU?

[@SpaciesArcade]

Thanks LordBarko. I actually kept the Astro power supply and installed it in my Sega Blast City. See the later episode that shows that cabinet setup. Cheers.

@@SpaciesArcade Thanks bud. Any chance you've made a video explaining how to remove a chassis from a MS8 monitor? Need to remove mine and bit of a novice!

[@MarionetaDelSistema]

Really good work there dude!. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Greetings form Argentina!!

[@SpaciesArcade]

Thanks Ignacio! And thanks for watching/commenting. Argentina - awesome! Cheers!

Sorry noob question incoming. Could you not use a PC ATX PSU rather than doing all that re-wiring? If you changed out the marquee light for a LED and then you just need to bower the monitor.

[@SpaciesArcade]

Hey Terry, yes you could. Although PC ATX PSU's don't have voltage adjustments. If you are serving a large PCB set (like a sega model 2 or Atari System 2 board set) then you may not get enough voltage to drive them properly. So it depends on what you are running in there. An LED swap out for the marquee light is a fine idea. I would have done the same but the stock one worked so kept it original. Cheers.

@@SpaciesArcade Okay, thanks for the reply. Just got an Astro myself yesterday which is fully working. I'll leave messing around with it until it has a problem.
