Do the early Bally Home edition games use a standard bally power supply? If not, how hard are they to come by?

NO! The power transformer box as well as the power supply board are particular to the home models. Then you also need to know if the machines needs a Series 1 or a Series 2 power supply.

Used home model power transformer boxes and power supply boards show up on ebay occasionally.
Thank you. That is what I suspected. There is one locally for $150 but the owner suspects the transformer is inop. Not sure of any other problems.
There is a circuit breaker button on the back of the game. Sometimes that's all that's broken. Other times it's the MPU sockets.
