Title: Identify Parts of a Cabinet?
Post by: itnick on April 29, 2009, 06:44:39 pm

Hey all, noob here :dizzy: Im wondering if someone can identify the parts in the bottom of a Blitz 2000 Gold machine I picked up, is this the power supply and isolation transformer?. Ive been looking for the manual online to help but have had no luck.

Looks like a PC power supply with an extra box grafted on to it.   I don't see a standard isolation transformer but it could be in the extra housing on the side of the power supply.

The DC power supply is the top of the two metal boxes.  It's the same formfactor as a PC supply (and may in fact be one with a different connector on it).  These can be bough from e.g. Happ in this formfactor with the "standard" 9 pin connector.

The bottom box is unknown.  It probably has a fuse block and distribution block in it.  There may be an isolation transformer hidden in there, too.

Blitz was often shipped with a WG U5000 which would not have required an isolation transformer, so it's possible that this cabinet doesn't have one.
