CF/SamuraiSlot Invisible Transformer??

[kizu76]

This is probably pretty dumb, but I have to ask...

While I'm waiting for a new machine to arrive from YJA, I figured I'd take a look at the two I already have to see how CF/SamuraiSlots installed their transformers to get an idea of how to deal with the new one, and I'm pretty sure there is nothing there. On both, the power cord runs straight from the wall to the molded factory plug on the power supply with no transformer in sight. I guess I never paid any attention before.

Since they both came from the same place, does CF even attach a transformer to the slots? They are fairly obvious on the pachinkos, so I would assume they would be hard to miss, but...

Could someone that bought their slot from CF possibly post a picture of the inside to show me what I'm missing, or just to verify that I am not smoking crack. I'd be happy either way, but I'd just like to know whether I need to install one on the new machine when it arrives. (and possibly on the other two now as well)

I have only bought pachinkos from them, but the transformer should be screwed to the bottom of the frame in the back.

If not... one of these would do nicely

I recommend the SMR 6-24-1RTC

Not all machines use transformers. Some are set up to run on 120 (actually 100) volts AC instead of 24..

[birdbrain]

yes, both of yours run on 100v

If it runs on 24 volt, it will have a transfomer, if it runs on 100 volt it will just have a power supply. .

Thanks for the info everyone, I'm not as well versed on the slots... I'm guessing the voltage used is listed somewhere on the machine?

we all have learned the same way

Although it's been more 'shocking' for some than others!

[birdbrain]

it cost me a gamera high vis to learn that they use 110v style plugs to run 24v to power supplies in japan!

Sparky/Rich wired a transformer in backwards

boy

Sparky/Rich wired a transformer in backwards

boy that would cause some really high voltage
