    Question Will either of these step-down transformers work for an early Modern pachi?

    The pachi is Sankyo's 'Flying Carpet II', from 1992... shouldn't be pulling that much power.

    If both would work, the 350W one is the better deal right?
    There is always another machine around the corner...

    Might be easier to replace the 120V transformer with a 240V transformer. I don't think your game draws more than 2 amps but am not sure. Does your transformer have any ratings on it? Usually rated in VA.

    And is it really 240V in Australia? or is it 220 / 240? Here is a 220V transfomer 4A
    24V, 4A Center Tapped (12-0-12) Transformer-Marlin P. Jones & Assoc. Inc.

    Anyhow, I could only open one link. That link was listed at 100VA and less than one amp.

    Are you trying to buy one of these step downs for a bunch of machines or just the one machine?

    Good Luck

    errr.. Are you after 110v or 24v
    As above, if you already have a 100-24v transformer. Best to strip it for copper and buy a new 240-24v transformer .

    Actually, the 100W version of this step-down makes the most sense.

    Least amount of work to do.
