Target Alpha
Gottlieb, 1976
Triple Strike
Williams, 1975I discovered today that a Target Alpha I picked up a long time ago does not have transformer. I have a spare transformer that came out of a Williams Triple Strike. Will this work with the Target Alpha? The TA is my first jump into restoring a Gottlieb.
Quoted from Mikala:I discovered today that a Target Alpha I picked up a long time ago does not have power supply. I have a spare power supply that came out of a Williams Triple Strike. Will this work with the Target Alpha? The TA is my first jump into restoring a Gottlieb.
Heresy! haha. If you're talking about the transformer, then yes it should work. Both take 110v in and deliver 24 or 25v, and 6v out.
Quoted from LTG:LTG : )
RTS : ) Learn To Google? Read The Schematic!
Voltage is a bit lower on Williams then on a Gottlieb (24 V) you can increase by using the high tap on a Williams transformer.
Don't know if it will be enough, but it will work.
Do you have the TA schematic? Could you post picture of the transformer wiring in it to compare? As noted they put out similar voltages so it might be possible, but need to see if the commons, etc are wired the same.

What's the non-24v?
