Quoted from BioBa:Can you explain why?
Forgot to say I'm in Australia at 240V we don't need the upgraded power supply (I was told).
Quoted from pinballinreno:No, but higher wattage power will make it easier to flip the ball and have less thermal residue.
The device works more sufficiently.
As with everything electrical, low power or brown out conditions cause heat buildup.
The upgraded power supply is 750 watt. The original is near half that.
Your 240v service does not give you more power. Just less power is used from the wall. So internally the power used is the same.
Upgrading the internal power supply fixes many issues, like weak flippers.
EOS switches let the game know when a flipper is knocked down so it can automatically raise it or keep it up.
I recommend EOS and the new power supply.
I was going to post what our 240V power supply looked like a few weeks ago but given the discussion about the US replacement unit again in the context of our 240V machines I thought it would make sense to post it. I was only having a chat with our distributor recently where he was amazed at how many owners were calling him here in Aus and asking for 'the replacement power supply' to which he gave the same response you don't need the replacement USA power supply in our machines. It's one thing to quote the benefits of added wattage on the replacement US unit, however unless you have a spec sheet on hand for our units, you're making a massive assumption re the specs on our units. My understanding of electronic power supplies tells me ours doesn't look like underspecced unit somehow, especially when you lay eyes on the transformer. Of course it's unhelpful that its otherwise unmarked being caseless, but comparing it visually to something like this Antek 800w 48V unit, it does bear some resemblance (definitely in dimensions) http://www.antekinc.com/ps-8n48-800w-48v-power-supply/. Not saying that makes it equivalent of course just that it might be something of a similar spec.
