Hanabi Hyakkei transformer and speaker question Canada

[websherpa]

I am awaiting my first Pachislo, the Hanabi Hyakkei model (I have a vintage Nishijin Super Deluxe Sophia Pachinko that I first refurbished almost 20 years ago.)

My question is about Mods. Although I've been told it runs on our voltage (in Canada it's 110 volts), I'm wondering whether I should upgrade the transformer, and if so which one (what Amps) for this machine.

Also, can anyone tell me if this is a two speaker stereo model or does it have a third speaker (so I can pre-purchase L-Pads).

Thank you in advance for your help and the great forum!

no need to upgrade the transformer , it has a power supply so its not needed .the machine will run fine on the stock power supply as for volume mods mine came with a stereo volume pot installed in the token tray area by big bear (excellent volume range ) he sells the kit on his web site .i modified my hopper to kick tokens to the tray with a toggle switch for unlimited tokens on demand with out opening the door (sweet mod.).i posted the mod here somewhere if you cant find it feel free to message me .good luck with the machine its an excellent machine .......

Thanks! If it has one volume pot, then I assume there's just the two stereo speakers.

yes the hanabi only has two speakers but you need control on both speakers so it has to be a stereo pot or two mono pots will do but then you have to balance them the stereo is much easier to use .

I see by the Hanabi Hyakkei brochure that this machine is specifically geared for 110 volts (same as Canada).
