I have a “Winning Streak” 4xx series. I made a power supply conversion from the threads that KNAG posted and I’m having some issues. When I installed it the machine worked great for about 5 minutes. Now I’ve lost my DC voltages again. The replacement supply is a 400 watt unit. I then found a junk machine with same power supply. I installed it played unit for an hour and machine went dead. I pulled power supply and there’s 2 fuses on backplane board. The 3A/250V fuse blew. I haven’t tried anything since. I was going to leave all the A/C plugs undone to see if it blows the fuse again. Any suggestions would be Appreciated.
THANK YOU,
Dan

Here’s the latest update on my power supply issue. I took the modified computer power supply and plugged it in to a separate different outlet than the machine. Now the machine has been running for 2 days straight, NO issues. So I took a current clamp and tested each 110 volt (6 pin plug) and found out with those, the power supply up top and the new computer power supply All ON, the total current being drawn was 3.78 amps. This didn’t take into account if the reels were spinning or if the hopper was paying out on a spin. This is why I kept blowing the 3 amp fuse on the power supply backplane. I ended up using the switched outlet (1 amp Max) to control a relay to turn on and off computer power supply when the existing power supply was turned on/off.
Hope this makes sense!!! A little more work but, KNAGI saved me a bunch of $$$ on this project. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP.
