Anyway. I got the 15  (3x5 molex) hooked up and trhe ribbon cable. But I dont know what to do with the others. There are two cables both coming from the power supply.

Both (2) two molex conections. and a ground tap

Is there a 2-pin connector on the back of your display?
One of them might go there, if not, just roll them up nicely
and use some black electrical tape to keep them tidy.
You might want them later for other kind of display panels
that use those 2-pin orange molexes. :89-
May I ask you, what kind of machine are you installing this Spectrum in?
Can we have a nice photo of it?

This is what Ken sent me, all credit goes to him:
"there are only a few connections.

The grey casing with two wires in it are for the lighting which I did not take pictures of all the connections.
001 - Ribbon Cable Connection
003 - Power Supply Connections
004 - Power Supply To Meters
005 - 15 Pin Top Box Connection along with grey casing for lights"

Those are the pics Ken @OhioGaming sent to help me get hooked up bunker.
My machine is still in the process, because I haven't figured out how I am going to mount mine just yet :30-
I am still thinking of a mod for the top box, or just building a sit on top box for it. :89-

LOL! That's the spirit! You'll find a way!
It all goes in there really, sometimes on the wall or on the
floor towards the back of the top box.
Just try not to pu anything forward up near the glass or all you
see is silhouettes of wires when you put the glass back in!

Well, this is the proper mounting setup, but I have a 9 inch and dont have any progressive glass for the chop top:

And a huge stack of reel strips to the side

The pic came from Ken, so i assume its one of his machines.  I can only
dream of such a stack of goodies to go with my toy.  :179-

The 2 molex, they should have black and white wire one molex male and one female, same style as the door optic. they are the 120V AC to the power supply
they go inline with the 120V to the fluorescent ballast in the top box. thats why they have the ground wire.
