I have a Bally Mr and Mrs Pac Man that needs a AS-3071-7 transformer. I have on hand a E-00122-0125c transformer from a Bally Lost World. Is it possible to use/convert the transformer from the Lost world in to one that will work in the Mr Mrs Pac Man? The schematics show similar but different outputs. Just wondering if someone else had success with a work around. Thanks for any help!

You really can't. Besides the effort to add the connectors, older Bally's that did not use an aux lamp board had smaller transformers while the redesigned power assembly came with a much larger transformer to handle the extra lamp load. If you know what you are doing and have the right parts it might work, however my recommendation is to find a proper replacement.

Thanks For the explanation Al. I’ll put an ad up in market place for the correct transformer. Thank you!

The Mr and Mrs Pac-man is a singular transformer. It has an additional winding for the 110v florescent lamp in the backbox. If you don't care about that, you can use any transformer from Xenon to Fireball Classic which will plug right in the -54 power board.

Avoid the Baby Pac transformer as it has no winding for high voltage displays.
