I recently picked up a Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest pinball (zizzle brand) for $20. The machine is cosmetically in great shape but the power supply has a break somewhere in the wire. (The previous owner supplied me with this info). I have been unable to find the fault in the wiring so I want to replace it instead of possibly messing up the machine. Does anyone have a solid lead on where to find a compatible power supply? The back of the machine lists the voltage as 24V DC, 2.5A, rate power 60W. I know a little about voltages but again I want to be sure and get the right type of power supply. I tried www.zizzle.com but it says the site is under construction. Thanks in advance for any help. I can't wait to get this machine running since it looks like a lot of fun.
 
Thanks for that link. I sent them an e-mail to see if there is an online order form for parts. I would perfer an original adaptor for the very reasons you stated.
 
Have you put a meter across the power supply? I'm not familiar with Zizzle machines. Is the power supply inside the cabinet or external? In either case I would be testing the power supply before buying a new one.

They are smaller machines with an external power supply similar in appearance to an NES power supply.
I took the old supply apart, cut out where I thought the wires were broken (the flexible section that is there to protect the cord from breaking on the outside of the power block) and re-connected the wires via a set of wire connectors. Still no luck on power getting from the wall to the plug that goes into the machine. My guess is the cord is broken in a few places.
I found a 24V wall adaptor at Radio Shack, but it was an AC output which is no good since it needs DC output.

Plug the supply into the wall and put a meter across the through-holes where the wires that go out to the game attach. That will tell you if you're getting power out of the supply. If you are then you can just replace the cable, if not you can fix what's there or consider buying a replacement (I would check ebay).
 
I had one of these, cool little pin, but when we got a bigger arcade pinball machine (HS), it just never got played anymore. The flippers got real weak and I tried getting parts from that company and had no luck. I recently traded it for a Gumball machine (this is what I was gonna get a gumball machine anyways with the cash) and I couldn't be happier in the trade. Good luck getting a response via the e-mail, The company offers no phone number to call or nothing. I was told they are out of business, but who knows!
