Hi there!
I have an old Cocktail cab that has a worn out power cable that needs replacing. I have converted my other cocktail cab to a newer style arcade on/off switch with a new 3 prong grounded cable successfully but this cab is giving me problems.
The power cord has 2 colors and is non polarized
White - neutral
Black - hot
So what I want to do is splice the original wire and add a new end to it so I can put that end in a strip plug inside the cab.
Aka: external on/off rocker to strip plug, then strip plug has a socket taken by the original psu/monitor inside the cocktail.
So I did what any sane person would do, I got a multimeter out and checked continuity from the hot (black) end of the plug to the black section of the fuse/wiring inside the cab.
But noticed that the white and black have continuity???
I don't want to mess things and just got by color.
Would it mess anything up if I soldered the black wire of the original psu to a spliced new cable head and the white part of the cable to a new cable head?
Just being cautious
