Hello, I have a Bally rockmakers pin. My voltage readings off the transformer are roughly half of what the schematics state. My bulbs are dim and the flippers are lazy. The transformer appears to be wired 220 volt. This may have been a german machine. Does that make sense the voltage is half wired on 220? Cheers

I have 120 volts on the bottom of the transformer. 28/3.2 volts on the top. It is definitely wired for 220 but it has a us/cdn plug wired on. My Capersville has the same transformer wired for 120. If these are the same transformer, can I wire it 120v like is shows in the schematics? Ive read that these transformers seldom go bad.

I am getting the following values. Between 1/9 121v. 8/10 3.22v. 4/10 32.6v.

I will isolate a few things if I decide to mess with the wiring Rusty

I am thinking that someone had this machine with a euro plug and simply changed it for a cdn/us plug but didnt realize it was wired 220. I checked the language on the coin slot and it was from the netherlands before the euro in 2002. It was stored in california since 1988. I bid on it at auction last year and didnt get it. But I ended up with it anyway last week. Coincidence......I think not

This weekend I will change the wiring and give an update. If I am silent, things probably went nuclear.

I always thought it was strange to bring pins to different countries as well. I would think maybe a military move.

Well I changed it over according to the schematics. It plays like a normal pin now. Lights are bright and flippers are strong. All voltages are within spec. Thanks for the help everyone.

A very rare antique at that

The machine isnt pretty at all. I bought it for parts for my Capersville. It was completely dead. Decided to devote a couple hours to it and it runs really well. Now I dont have the heart to part it out. Just another money pit I guess. Lol
