Title: Konami Advantage 5; could i use it with AC 230 volts?
Post by: peachpit on April 03, 2015, 08:31:07 AM

Hello everybody,
i own a Konami Advantage 5 reel machine.  Because i´am from Europe where the general voltage is 230 volts i have always use it with a AC / AC converter (230 volts to 125 volts). But is this really necessary? Built in is a switching power supply; that could use voltages from 100 - 240 volts in my opinion. I only wondering because the fuses have a type lettering that says 125 volts.
It would be great if you have some informations for me.
Thanks a lot!!!
Dennis

You must Check Lamp and Fluorescent tube and ballast voltage.
In old Bally slot has 110V neon tube in Europe too.
I have more Bally slot which factory built 220V but tube is still 110V inside.
It has built in is a switching power supply too, that could use voltages from 100 - 240 volt.
It has built in Transformator drop voltage to 110V.

Hopper goes  from power supply?

Thanks for your help.

The machine does not have any neon bulbs; every lightning is based on LEDs. There is no hopper installed; the machines works with a ticket printer.

Do you have any other idea?

Thanks a lot!

Check wiring, power line go olny in this powersupply?
If yes,I think fuse  worst to change to 1/2 rate as original value.

The only issue I can see is if your power is 50 hertz and not 60

For switching power supply isn't  problem ,  it's make DC from input directly.
