Hi Every one,
I recently bought a Data East machine Maverick that originated in Holland going by the start up screen and on the Power box in the cabinet. The plug on the machine is a stranded US 3 prong plug. I figured the person before me converted everything over to 110V. I have had the machine up and running and all but lots of burned out lights it all seems fine. On the Main fuse box it has 2 fuses and it says to use 5A Slo blow fuses. The Manual says for international machines it should have 2 4A slo blow fusees and for US machines it should have 1 8A slo blow fuse. I have read when going from 220v to 110 volt you should remove the 4 A and replace it with a 8 A. I also read some where if the machine has 3 flippers to replace it with a 10A. I'll attach a pic of the wiring inside the box too in case it might help. It looks like each lead goes to a fuse then out, would this be the same as putting 1 fuse there with twice the amps and take the other one out?

The Molex plug also looks like its wired as 100v The white wire is in the top middle hole and the jumpers are below it as well, I have attached a pic as well. I just wanted to make sure I should move the white wire and the jumper below it over. I couldn't fine where I can check the voltage at to see if this is actually 100 or 110.

Thanks in advance and sorry for the blurry pics.

This is an update. I found in the manual that the so called butterfly jumpers on the molex plug for the transformer is correct for the 110V, I just need to move the 3 pins over. The big question is the fuses. The ones in there are still 5A and for 100V they should be 8A and why on this machine are their two fusees in the main line. If anyone has a machine like this and could shed some light it would be greatly appreciated. I'll load 2 more pics in hopes for some help.
