    Default Machine's Pwr Supply Buzzes a bit?

    Hello,

    Recently purchased a pachinko from SP, everything on the machine works fine. I'm simply wondering if it is normal for your power inverter/converter to buzz a little. This is my first pachinko, don't want to see it catch fire. Looking to be safe

    Thank you

    it is our concensus that leaving a machine on full time is not the best thing.. transformers have a tendancy to get hot with exteded use..

    so when your not playing it unplug it...

    to answer your question a bit of a hum from a transformer is normal.. now if ya cant hear yourself think when its on ya may have a problem...

    but a slight hum or light buzz is normal

    When I got my first pachinko from S-P that was on of the first things I asked them! They said its best NOT to have it on when not in use! IF it makes you feel any better it picks up where you left off at least it has in my case in all 3 of my machines!
