Just curious, why would you use a switching power supply when you have all that you need in the transformer assembly? Mine seems quite reliable to me. The Pac boards step the power down on the board itself. |

Orion - that Pac-man looks great. Especailly when sitting next to a nice Galaxian. What did you use for the side art? --- Quote from: orion on December 17, 2008, 03:44:06 pm ---Just curious, why would you use a switching power supply when you have all that you need in the transformer assembly?

I thought it was like most of my other games and had a seperate power supply that needed to be connected. If everything works without the switcher, I probably won't use this, however, I know some people have said that pac-man is the one game they always put a switcher in because of problems. I think I'll hang onto it and only use it if needed down the line. |

So refreshing to see with all the people who have been trashing and parting games. Dave --- End quote --- Thanks! I like to preserve them as much as I can. Sometimes I feel like just buying a game that doesn't need any work and all I have to do is play, but once the restore is finished it gives you a really good feeling knowing everything you put into it. Plus, I'm not doing this to flip and sell. These are keepers for me. |

The Galaxian does need some work however... the side art is all dinged to hell and I haven't come up with a solution to it. I don't want to replace it with a sticker like I had to do on the front. I'm not sure why people have had problems with the pac man power supply... it's just a transformer.... those things are kind of hard to kill. Oh and check you PM. |

I still used the original brick in my Ms Pac. Gives a steadier voltage than any SMPS I have! |
