    Default Will this Transformer work for my modern pachinko?

    Hi all I'm still very new to modern pachinko machines and I have my first one coming in a few weeks. I know you need a 24v transformer. Would this one work? Thanks in advance

    I don't think the one you posted will work.

    The machine should run on 24V.

    Should be 110/120V input to 24V output and probably at the least 6 amp. My Tom & Jerry machine has an 8 amp.
    What if...​the ​HOKEY POKEY, is what it's all about?

    Although the spec is badly written and it does have a 24v output but, wow 40va. thats way to low. depending on how modern, you want 150va upwards

    As above, I use 10A transformers on my machines. (I have 2x 500va transformers that run 2 machines each)

    Thats only 3.5A fuse per connector. A bit low for modern pachis

    That's for the Separate 16 Channels . I do a Direct Hookup on the 24vac Power taps on the side ( Right by the Board ,Boards Green LED ) and I Splice in a Power strip on One of the two Boards ( Six Outlets ) with Surge protection and circuit breaker .
