Hey, Well, that sounds easier. If this would be easier, where would I buy a new isolation transformer? Aholfe, hey thanks, I will try that out later. : |

Happcontrols will have them I'm sure, and people are always selling them on ebay. if Happ does carry them, Divemaster or PonyBoy here in the B/S/T forums could probably get you one for less, and without the order minimums. |

Hey, I am still confused as which option is better, modifying a power supply or using a new isolation transformer. Using a new isolation transformer sounds easier; of course, I don't know what I would have to do to get that working. (A picture below shows what I am "THINKING" you mean). If I were to do the "Isolation transformer" method, would I need to buy a new isolation transformer? Or could I possibly utilize my old one. Also, if I used this method, would keeping the Jamma be possible? (Shown in Picture). Not that I don't think that pointdablame is correct, but I would like to know what Kevin thinks is the best method. (Since he has be helping me a lot along the way) : |

To be honest, I haven't even looked in my Xmen yet to decide exactly what I'm going to do. IF there is a way to use the iso in there now independently and hook it directly to an AC plug like in your picture, then you should be able to use your current isolation transformer. I only said get a new one as a way to explain my idea of using ONLY an iso, and not the power supply. If the iso you have now is wired in a way that doesn't easily allow you to hook up a plug to it, I'd get a new one as they're pretty cheap. If it's possible to do (again, I didn't play around in my cab yet), then just use the one you have and eliminate the power supply. |
