Title: Converting power supply
Post by: dredd17 on May 20, 2017, 06:56:55 pm
I have a burger time machine that i acquired that is burning up power boards.  I decided to just scrap the power system and use a new power switching supply.  So from what i understand i need to have an isolation transformer because of the CRT monitor and I need a line filter.  I seen several videos that show people's set up but i can not find any information on what kind of line filter and transformer I need to buy or where to buy it.  Can someone please point me in the right direction.  Thank you for any input.

Did you have a look through this document,"https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwjBiZmUupPUAhUE2WMKHeLbDfQQFggiMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Farcarc.xmission.com%2FPDF_Arcade_Bally_Midway%2FBurgertime_Parts_and_Operating_Manual_(Nov_1982).pdf&usg=AFQjCNFHEren588n8XK_OstJCvlVOiHLdQ"?

looks like some good information for your original linear power supply ;)
