If it delivers the voltages and amps you need, i don't see a reason why not.

it delivers or should 12v +5v  -5v Gnd so a replacement should be ok thanks for replying

some pictures this game is driving me crazy

as im new and having looked at the pinout will a new switcher be the right way to go ? only seller of a direct replacement is on ebay france and dont ship here

Saw a thread about these on UKVac forums...

No idea what powers that thing delivers. I know the US200 and US250 also power the monitor with something like 138DC (!)

I had a US250 in my Double Axle which was in exactly the same cabinet....

Why you are wasting your time trying to replace that PSU? Check the voltages it outputs, first...

here are readings
right had meter on it and the following readings are current
game board connected and got
+5v= 5.00v
+12v=12.88v

thats all ?

thanks

Those readings are perfect. The US150 is different to the US250 and only provides the pcb voltages, so can be swapped out with a regular switcher.
The 250 contains an isolation transformer for the monitor voltages, but the time the 150 came out they were using Hantarex Polo monitors which don't require an iso.
