    Quoted from PinMonk:

    Thanks for sharing your install experience.
    It would be SOOOOO much easier if Spooky just used a molex connector for each of the wire bunches from the factory. One connector for the wires in the back, and another for the ones in the front. They're keyed connectors, so no putting them on backwards, and disconnect/reconnect would take seconds. It'd be a snap, like removing the Spike power supply is.
    For those following along, THIS is the block on the back of Spooky SE-600-48 power supplies in the cabinet where the 120v wires come in that's inconvenient to see/get off due to how close it is to the back of the cabinet:

    Here it is after the wires are removed:

    The terminal blocks on the front are easy-access.

    How does the clear plastic come off guarding the 3 screws - just so I know in advance to keep it easier?

    Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

    It slides off either left or right. Easy to get back on when you’re finished. Grooves at the top and bottom of the plastic housing capture the cover to hold it in place.

    Thanks for this, very helpful!
