Hello,
My wife and I recently started collecting Mr. Vend arcade machines and we are up to six now.I have been able to fix minor issues with all but one. The power supply on our Grip tester is broken and I have tested all I am capable of. I even tried a PS that I thought had similar characteristics that I purchased from Amazon. The machine comes on for a second but then quickly dies. I have narrowed it down the PS by snagging one from a working machine. I am pretty sure the transformer is the culprit but who knows with a machine of this age.
Has anyone successfully replaced one of these with something off the shelf? Does anyone know what the wattage should be? I can find 12v, 5v PSUs all day long but I have know idea about amp requirements.
Also, on a separate note, the sliding potentiometer was missing from the grip testing mechanism but after looking at the place where it would be and seeing photos from another machine on the internet I figured out what it was supposed to be and I have several ready to test. I am hoping to test it with a borrowed PS soon.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Kind regards,
Rob
