I had three Alien Pokers and was able to save one good one. I made a table out of one of the bodies and it is great. I've added Xmas lights under the playfield and have that one looking great.

I want to do the same thing for the extra Backbox I have. How can I easily wire up the lights behind the glass with a switch and a plug. I would put LEDs in all the bulb sockets, but how on earth do I go from 110v down to 5V for the GI illuminate in the head? Thanks.
