    Hi. I've done some searching and googling but can only find old info...

    Wondering if using led displays in Firepower, I could eliminate the Mains transformer and power supply board altogether and just run with 3 decent power supplies? Has any one done this? Thanks for any feedback.

    If the transformer and power supply are in good shape you can just simply pull the high voltage 100v fuse with LED replacement displays.

    Thanks I understand that change, this is for a scratch build with no original parts. Hoping someone has done it before, particularly the solenoid and flipper supply..

    I can see how that can be a problem as most arcade switching power supply are good for 5v and 12v rails.

    What about a power supply out of a newer Stern, that would provide you with 48v.

    Quoted from Elysiom:

    You would also need center tapped 18VAC for sound board (it generates both positive and negative voltages from that), 16VDC for controlled lamps, 6.3VAC at quite a lot of amps for general illumination and 28VDC for solenoids.

    I think it would be easiest to get an original transformer.
