Snowy Minnesota is very cold right now. Can I post pictures? I've tried and it has proven quite difficult. Sorry for the delay in responding. Life keeps getting in the way.

you said its all backtogether..

do you have a nice straight on picture of the back of the machine??

Sorry I was thinking of the wiring of vintage machines. Just the same though, details in the pictures can be most helpful. Others may see the problem and be able to help you correct it.

Cold? I may not remember a lot but I'll never forget the winters of MN

I’m not familiar with the Maruhon machines but it looks like yours is wired from the wall plug to directly into the machine? I only have ones that have a transformer mounted at the bottom to convert household current to the 24 volt system these run on. Not seeing or saying it doesn’t have a transformer built in elsewhere. But I would not plug it in until others more knowledgeable about this can offer some advice.

As for posting pictures, this might help you along.

Where about are you in Minnesota? I Grew up in lower St. Paul but lived around the twin cities for my first 25 years before moving to Michigan.

We are in southeastern MN; about an hour from St. Paul.

I will try to find a transformer for it. Then I'll hafta try installing it too. I guess there's a first time for everything.

I keep wondering about the gold-ish metal box on the hanger with what looks to be a cord plugged in above it. Perhaps someone has a machine like this and can shed some light on if it has anything to do with supplying power or is it for another purpose.

Does the cord hanging on the right side connect to a switch or other item at the top or does it wrap behind the plastics down to the metal box mentioned above? I assume if it connects at the top then you will need a transformer spliced into that cord on the right. (That’s just my calculated risk assessment!)

If you end up looking for a transformer, here is a sample of one I have in a couple newer machines. This is a 24VAC output with 6amps. The amps would probably be overkill for this machine.

Here is a 4amp at 2/3rds the cost from this supplier.
