    Default My most recent purchase

    Well, I decided it is time to add some fortune frame games to my collection! I just bought a golgo 13 drum for only 8,500 yen! While I’m waiting for the machine to come in, I’m going to hard-off or book-off to pick up a transformer. Any recommendations to transformers for fortune frame games? (Looking at you lotsoballs).

    Mine just has the little 100v 5a one that the domestic vendor Clover Collectables installed. No issues; and I’ve played it for many hours with: Macross Frontier 2 and 3, Symphogear, Golgo Drum, Bunny & Bunny, Lady Gaga, and Total Eclipse (but that cell has some animatronic issue apparently )

    JT Comatz sells the bigger 8 amp transfomers which are much heavier but run cooler. Or maybe try to acquire one of those big boy Kirin brand transformers the parlor uses; they can power 4+ pachinkos

    Here’s the Clover one on the Fortune frame kinda undersized; but hey, it works!


    JT Comatz 8a (heavy!)

    Big boy parlor transformer; car battery heavy; bragging rights “mines bigger than yours” 15 amps 4 outlets

    This Retired Closed Circuit T.V. camera power supply has Two Toroidal Transformers that each one will supply 24vac and up to 20amps

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/ALTRONiX-ALTV2416600-UL-CCTV-16-CAMERA-24-VAC-POWER-SUPPLY-16-OUTPUT-20AMP/234178717503?hash=item368623a73f:g:rBMAAOSwQjthORxk&pageci=1 ddb1b91-7b1b-43a4-b685-a6b574d94f54&redirect=mobile

    Laboratory and high end audio amplifiers use this round shape power transformer cause it is a Beast with a very small footprint.

    Here is a cheaper on $49.95 plus $24.95 shipping and handling .

    I owned a few of these and my amp hungry machines barely heat it up.
