    I recently picked up a Stern Pirates and am now realizing it is likely a re-import from Italy. A previous owner converted the chord at some point by splicing into the original cord with a proper 3 prong plug. I looked through this forum (admittedly I may not have found the correct post if one is in here) but am questioning what else I need to look for. What other steps to the conversion do I need to look/check for? Most of the info on pinside seems to relate to Williams and older games, I haven't yet found one on converting a SAM system back from Euro voltages. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Quoted from dtrimberger:

    I recently picked up a Stern Pirates and am now realizing it is likely a re-import from Italy.

I looked through this forum (admittedly I may not have found the correct post if one is in here) but am questioning what else I need to look for.

    So I figured out my question above with some help form the Pirates forum. Now I have one other question. Whoever had the pin before me didn't do any work on the power box so I'll be changing that out. They did however repin and jump the 9 pin connector from the power box to the transformer. The problem is they have the black line in 3 with jumps to 2 and 1 and the white line in 9 with jumps to 8 and 9. I still think its correct because it was working. Can anyone post a pic of this connection in a 2000s stern to confirm the transformer side wire colors.
