I have a reimport game (believe from Germany) that has been working properly for 10+ years. Starting a restoration and am wondering how (if possible) to change over to traditional Bally/Williams transformer and electric setup. I’ve attached pictures showing transformer in back of game and converter in front. I appreciate any assistance. Thanks for your time,
Bob

"Changing all the stuff out just to try to cover it up really isn't worth it. Make it work and move on... "

Not trying to cover it up - as in I am NOT trying to cover up fact it is re-import to sell it or something. It works 100% as is (everything to make this re-import work was done 10+ years ago). My only point is: Since I am just starting to restore this game, I thought I would like to do away with all of the unnecessary electrical components to streamline like it was IF it was a domestic game.

I am will rework the cabinet and repaint and re-decal the game. I also have a new coin door for it. I have a new playfield for it, but may get the one minor imperfection reworked on the original playfield and then clear coated as well.

Thanks for your time,
Bob
