I see we're doing a liquid lunch today

[Tulsa]

So much for getting an honest answer...

[dattia]

...or asking an honest question....................

[Tulsa]

Did you mean a "fair" question? As there is nothing dishonest about the question.

[dattia]

You know what I meant!

[luckydog]

you need to check the bulbs and see if it has a transformer. it may be DC

[Sid]

yup, and see what kinda juice it will need..

dont want to overpower it and let all the blue smoke out...

best to consult an electronics guy/gal...

Maybe Jeff can assist with the volume controls and the turning on of betty...

2 birds with one stone..

[dattia]

: That's an idea....

[reneeeoc]

Hi,
I might be able to get you a harness for the betty boop topper so you can plug it into a wall outlet,
Renee

[dattia]

Now see, that is the solution I was looking for... I take it you are familiar with these then.... I have 3 connectors coming from the topper I have a male 4-prong (square pattern) labeled "Tower Interconnect", a female (same configuration) connector that is labeled "LED Controller" and then a male 2-prong connecter that is labeled "Game Power". Having no electronic experience, it is all GREEK to me, but does it sound like a set-up that would work with the harness you mentioned?

[logicprobe]

Having no electronic experience, it is all GREEK to me...

Heck, I'm impressed that you know the difference between a male connector and a female connector.

Anatomy 101

[logicprobe]

Well, when I was teaching electronics, I had a few students that couldn't tell the difference.

I guess they were looking for little breasts on some of them.

[hanabi]

Now that's funny!

[dishpan]

Now if you have a plug and a jack, why is the female part called a Jack?

Perhaps this question belongs in the Brokeback Cowboy thread.

[luckydog]

maybe it should be called a Jackie

hi ya Dawn , I'm in the process of rewiring mine right now and fixing a half dozen machines i just picked up , if your not in a hurry i can probably work on getting Betty up and running in a week or so for ya as well as install some resistors on that machine to save your ears ....

[dattia]

OK Jeff, that is a great offer, but here's the thing... I have one Betty Boop Topper looking to be electrified and 3machines that are in need of volume controls...its not just Betty...AND...since you've been posting pics of all your mods, I was thinking of ordering at least one ratcheting arm. So you see, the stakes have changed and I don't think this can be accomplished in an hour for the price of a diner lunch. My family won't be home until Aug 9, so it would have to be after that. Think about a price and get back to me in a PM...Thanks Jeff!
