I think the electropak was used to replace the battery. I think the machine originally used a 6 volt battery, but I’m not for sure.

That machine looks nice, and appears to have original legs.

Be aware that the number of folks who want one of these types of machines are dwindling. I’m old, and I only remember stories of payout machines being everywhere “in good old days”. In other words, I’ve never played one, only seen pics and heard stories.

I’m interested in what you end up doing with this - if you get it going, I would love to see a video of it working, including the payout and how that works.

Good luck, stay safe!

Nick -

Now that I'm a computer screen instead of a phone, I see the power supply is 12 volt. As Way2wyrd stated, its likely bad, but test it to be sure. I don't know how many watts you need - you may need to make a rough calculation.

If you a have an old computer with a power supply, you might be able to use it's 12 volt output as a test instead of running out somewhere. It looks like you have two 12 volt circuits.

I’m guessing the 120 vac is going to a motor, so there’s no way around that.

See if you can see a part number or other information on it to verify what it is.

The selenium rectifier provides the DC. Since there’s no capacitors, I’m sure the DC is not very smooth, but if it’s for lights, that should not be an issue.

Keep in touch with the pre war group. They know a heck of a lot more about these machines than I do. I’m just a very curious bystander

Nick - On the right hand side, you can see the cells - these are the batteries. So it looks like the system is powered by 12 VDC, and I'm guessing the 120 VAC timer was added the same time as the Electropak was added to eliminate the batteries.
