Picking the right transformer to UK power 2005 Pachislo

[Edwardif]

Hi,

I have a 2005 Rodeo Jet Set Radio pachislo I'm working on. Right now it hasn't been converted yet and is still using the original Japanese plug.

This runs on a 24V AC input.


I'm in the UK so our input voltage is 230V ac but this can range from 216V to 253V

Am I right in saying this should suffice for the machine.

Warning !!! :

Japanese power is 100 volts AC so you need to step down the voltage or you will have problems

But ,

and biscuits

The power supply in the machine will take care of the power conversion from input 100-120vac from outside of the machine to the inside stuff .

AC 220V to AC 24V seems right and I think 10W sounds good, but I could be missing something, so I hope someone else double checks the link for you!!

Please look on the back of your machine for a data plate. listing an Amp value, VA or watts.

10W sounds to small to me I would think a machine would be a minimum of 100W probably higher.
I'm running my machines off a 300 watt supply each. Although they are newer machines

I don't give recommendations of power ratings till I see the specs.

According to the sticker inside it's

"Voltage 24V 50/60Hz
Power consumption 250VA"

[Edwardif]

The sticker says:

Voltage 24V 50/60Hz
Power consumption 250VA

Hum , ok so at least a 6 amp 24vac transformer at the output side .

[Drunkenclam]

Actually it's a lot highter

Va = Volt x Amp
250 = 24 x 10.42


Have a quick look in this thread

If you use a furniture nut. You could hold it in place on the inside keeping things safer.
