Of course, I have to credit the One and Only Bob Roberts for this.
It really helped to be able to look inside my wired cabinet to make sense of it all. If you can, try to take a look at a working cabinet while reading this document.
Enjoy,

: Generally speaking, an arcade monitor has power that comes in thru standard 110v (north america, anyways), usually through a switch, then off to an isolation transformer, often screwed to the floor of the cabinet. The monitor then takes it's power from that transformer.
: My cab came with a mon, so I'm not the authority on this, but I would think that when you buy a monitor (like the WG3100 that everyone likes to talk about), that an Isolation transformer either comes with or can be purchased with the monitor.
