The answer is yes, but you should definitely do it right especially if you're not good at wiring things, remember that the power cord is obviously high voltage and if you do it wrong and cause a short or short it to something like the coin door you can cause major harm to your house, yourself, and other players. (and obviously the machine too!)

If this is one of those that like plugs the molex into a connector sticking out of a metal power supply box, then I would definitely not bypass it as that sounds like a major pain in the ass. If it's just the plug into another "free" wire, then it would be easier but I would still just recommend doing it the correct way.

Quoted from Streetfightur:

I appeciate the info! Forceflow provided some links for connectors, and I have tried to go through the manual, but have had no luck as to what kind of connector I should buy. Any ideas?

Is there not just a part number reference next to the connector ID name (2J8 or whatever it says) in the manual somewhere? Likely towards the back, but maybe the front.
