 !@# Why didn't you buy the stepdown transformers from O/S that I told you about some months ago?  Those would of run more than one machine at a time and reduced your cost.

Didn't Aus delivered machines run with 2 transformers?

These are even similar in style to period.

Personally I'd buy something like this and run the lot off it, yeah it's an overkill

Tony,

I probably have 6 i could spare - they are only 1A, ( 110W) but this is enough for the older games. Your GI will require 50W maximum, this leaves 60W for coils etc, but seeing as each fires singularly, 60W is more than enough juice to fire a solenoid
