That's a WPC voltage plug, like in Doctor Who. ToM is WPC-S, the larger 12-pin connector.

If you remove the voltage plug, and put the tab to remove it pointing down, pin #1 is the upper left corner

For 240 volt operation, you need 3 jumpers

Pin 1 to pin 11
Pin 3 to pin 9
Pin 7 to pin 10

Properly repaired, as Beaky stated, the GI in your TOM should be good for YEARS of trouble-free use, especially in the home. There's something else wrong, and it's going to smoke a replacement board. Get another tech.
Have looked at what I figure is the jumpers. There are two connectors, one I figure is the power that has a 9 wire plug with wires going towards where the transformer is??? The other is a 12 pin plug. The following jumper wires are

1-11
3-9
2-7 not what is stated above. What setting is this or is it just a mistake by the guy setting this game for 240v. Game was from Europe.

Thank you


Hey Rob,

I've purchased all the schematics for WPC, WPC-S & WPC95 etc...

Are you 100% sure of the jumpering from pin 2 to pin 7?

For all the 200v+ settings pin 2 is NC (not connected).  I cannot find any reference to jumpering pin 2 to 7 anywhere....

As JohnWartJnr correctly stated the right pin config for Australia for a WPC-S / WPC95

The white jumper (if done correctly) should be from pin 7 to 10

Re jumpering can be a pain without the right tools.  I've got all the correct size pins, crimpers and pin removal tools your welcome to borrow and use without having to fork out $$ for parts or sending stuff out.
