And all those turns together form a coil ;)

Just think of q*berts worst enemy, Coily. he has many turns in his body  which form a coil ;)

By the way this is some serious hardcore shit.........I love it ! :)

:) I studied so many years this stuff but never in english...

going back to my transformer...
I decided to open it completely... in the beginning with bad results but then I could remove the coils block

THen I took a spare transformer with secondary coils burned (11VAC used for +5V) and I opened this too. Then I removed the primary part from my original transformer and the secondary part from the other transformer.
I made a transfrankenstein (pay attention, not a transexual frankenstein)

This is the result.
Perfectly working with correct voltages.  :lol:

That's a really great fix :) It would have been cool to see if the rewind worked out ;)
BTW, I PM'd you for your address to send you the fan part.
Paul.

Ho-ly-shit  :shock:

I'm impressed...I would have queued for a new power supply or at least a 'new' transformer  :oops:


Great work!!  :spaceace:

PS: Pay attention to do something similar because you can damage your game...
Probably a lot of you already know that but I want to add this post in order to avoid shocks or other problems.

Primary coil is the part of transformer connected to the power line.
Secondary coil (typically more than one in the same tab) is electrified by electromagnetic induction by the primary coil. no contacts between  primary and secondary coils, but they have to be aligned.
I don't want to explain the theory of operation of linear transformers but I just want to say that in order to have a specific voltage on the secondary coil you have to calculate the ratio between turns.

the formula is:

Primary coil voltage :  Primary coil turns = Secondary coil voltage : Secondary coil turns

so if you have 220VAC and 300 turns on the primary coil and you want 6.3VAC on the secondary coil you need

(300 x 6.3 ) / 220 = 8.6 (rounded to 9) turns.

So the number of turns is very important. If you want to do something similar to what I did you have to know how many turns your coils have.

Last step: voltages sticker.
first line: the original
second line: the scan
from the third line repros printed and protected by adhesive plastic
I printed some stickers with 11Vac 4A and some others with 11Vac 10A

Now it's time to dedicate some time to the coin door.

Metal plate was dirty but in good general conditions so after a fast clean it was ready
