    Default Power surge fried my transformer on my BINGO Pachislo machine

    so I had a outdoor water main leak, apparently the city uses the main for a ground so while the workers were fixing the leak, I had a short or power surge..my slot didnt power up. I did some testing and turns out my 24v 5amp transformer was the culprit. I couldn't find a replacement except for an old DELL laptop adapter that was really close, it's 19.5v and 6.3 amps. Hooked it up and now it works! However, the reel lights don't work, and all lights seem to be a bit dimmer than before..I'm suspecting its the shortage of 4.5 volts! Does anyone knowmifthat may be the reason the reel lights don't work? Is it because they may be burnt out? Thanks guys...newbie here!

    I'm sure you need the full 24 volts to have everything work and light correctly

    thats why we all keep our machines on power strips,

    shut off the strip and no power or surge to machine
