    I have seen those but never thought about using one for a pachi. Another option - become friends with your HVAC repair guy. They are usually sitting on some 24 VAC transformers that would otherwise get chucked in the trash or just roll around their truck.

    Howdy Folks

    Well I did order one of the Ebay double transformer ones and with more research the rating for 1 tap (P and N taps ) is rated for 3.5 amps and since I am getting this cause my "Enter The Matrix " Pachinko machine runs my Standard 24vac 9 amps Transformer sooo Hot during the reaches and Fevers I will be using 3 taps (P and N X3 ) that should give me 10.5 amps .

    Yes. But be careful when linking in parallel to up your amperage. If its out of phase. Then boom.

    Oh there is a 1Kva transformer on YJA at the moment. That's 41.6A

    I plan to use 3 pairs out of 8 pairs on the board connected to only one of the two transformers or I just do a direct connect off one of the transformers .

    If you remove the transformer from the housing. You should see the spec on the side. There maybe 2 or more secondary windings. You need to know the spec of each winding. But if its high enough. You should be able to connect straight to the transformer.

    I was thinking the same. In other pictures of this transformer box, there are just two wires coming off of the transformers that goes to the fuse board. And if you do plan to wire them in parallel (personally I wouldn't take that risk), check the output with a 2-channel oscilloscope first to make sure you have them in phase.
