    Default converting cyclic to standard?

    Hi, I was curious if you can modify your cyclic panchinko machine to standard parlour style? Is it complicated to do?

    Also, for people living in North America, can you buy one transformer and attach it to a surge protector to power multiple machines?
    Thank you (^_^)

    some machines are easy to change back to parlour ready others are impossible as the insides have realy been hacked about to change back

    as for teh transformers each machine should come with a 24v transformer so no nead to run multiple machines from one transformer
    My rice krispies told me to do it

    If there is a specific Model you would like to convert - I'm sure if you posted Pics - a Member or two here could explain if and how it can be converted back.....

    First, Welcome to PachiTalk!

    2nd, Some machines are easy to switch back while others are major hack jobs to make them cyclic and would be nearly impossible to put back.

    3rd, You could set up say a 24v buss and run multiple games from it, but you would have to find a transformer big enough to handle the durrent requirements of all the machines at once. A 50 amp transformer should handle about 8 machines at once but I wouldn't want to be the one to pay for it. I saw one in a surplus store once and it was huge. A transformer that size can get quite expensive.

    Thanks everybody for the replies. And Thank you for the warm welcome (^_^)
    I haven't goten the machines yet, but 90% of all the machines I find are cyclic. Maybe I am old fashioned but I like the payouts +.゚(o☻ܫ☻o)゚+ I am going on vacation the day after next, but when I get back I will pick one up and hopefuly somehow bring it back to normal. 
    Thanks everyone.

    Wecome to pachitalk my friend.

    If you are in Japan as your flag shows, You can order them in Parlor Ready from pachinko sellers I have found.

    Doue to the cutting up the back side, most Cyclic can not be changed back without replacing the back frame.

    Plus, not only would a single transformer be expensive, it would be big and heavy as well. You're much better off with individual ones.

    (I'm with you...I am not big on full cyclic - I like the payouts as well.)

    Welcome to Pachitalk!

    I seen something on jya that was like what you are looking for. It took there stand current and had six outlets outputting 24v for pachinko machines. I have no idea how much they were. Just noticed the picture and desc and though oh cool.

    they are about 55 pounds and only four machines to a transformer. I know I bought one, and traded it to Compirate for a different style.

    A transformer that size would be big and heavy and $$$.
    AN easier 'fix' is trade the cyclic pachi for equal parlor ready machines. it would save you the hassle of converting and the future owner the conversion as well. put your actual location so shipping can be concidered, probably the major draw back to this proposal.
