My son has a pacman upright whose transformer is so loud it interfers with the machine sound. Is there a replacement for this or can I purchase a new one somewhere?
Thanks,
Gary
 
transformer is so loud? Are you referring to the two in the bottom of the cab or the ballast in the marquee light?

I've never heard the ones on the bottom make noise - even when they don't work right. The ballast one can be unplugged for now (no light) and then a replacement can be picked up from Home Depot for $5.99 + tax...
 
Modessitt,
I am talking about the bottom rear transformer board assembly. The humming sound is comming from one of the two of them. Does the humming mean that they need replaced? If so where would I find them?

Thanks fellas

After some troubleshooting with "Twobit Score" it is sounding like (forgive the pun) a new transformer is needed.
Thanks,

Not necessarily. Check out Bob Roberts' link.

Bob Sokel (2bits) isn't in the "helping" business, but in the "make money" business. He often tosses fixable stuff because he doesn't consider it worth his time when he can charge someone to replace it...
