    I'm hoping to get flea market spaces at Pinfest. Since they don't have electricity to power up a game we're selling, I'm looking at a 110V power pack. Besides using it at shows it would be very handy when the power fails in my home. I live in a rural area and it happens several times a year.

    Ivan has a test area you can move a game to test it, but a portable power pack would make sense since we wouldn't have to drag out of the spaces to fire it up.

    Does anyone know how many amps a solid state game would draw to start an play a game roughly for a buyer? Is this an option?

    Google says 5 amps.

    Looks like Google is high.

    Make it 230V and you will only need 3 amps.
