Super Hang-on: some explanation on the power supply

Hi,

I am trying to face some problem on my Super Hang-on (again :(). In particular, trying to start from the base, i would like to know what voltages should the Isolation transformer placed on the base of the cabinet should output. I can see 4 fuses: one is connected to the AC line and goes to the Isolation transformer input, so it's the "main" fuse; there are 3 additional fuses (output)... what AC voltage should my voltmeter read?

Thanks in advance :)
 
I can't tell you for sure, but a lot of Sega's games ran on 100V hardware... I think Out Run did, wouldn't surprise me if the Hang-Ons did too. if you're seeing 100V, then that's probably normal, and if not, I don't know. I wouldn't sweat it unless you're blowing up monitors in it. :)
 
:)

The isolation transormer surely supply the 110 V (AC, then rectified to DC by the monitor circuitry itself), but that voltage did not pass through a fuse. I am trying to figure which voltages i should read on the other 3 cables coming from the isolation transformer and going to those 3 fuses.
 
(Sorry for upping this)

I cannot believe no Klover has a super hang-on to check the voltages coming from the isolation transformer! :p

Please help :)
 
if it was an old Williams or an MCR game, they'd be on this like a hobo on a ham sandwich. unfortunately, this is probably one of those items no one gives a shit about.

oh well, at least KLOV is free, right?

as long as you're getting 110, nothing should be hurt by it. it's when you get into the cases where it's pushing 137+V where you'll have some major issues!

what's the actual problem you're having with it?
 
I know that this game has not actually the interest it deserves, but one day it will :). I also know KLOV is free and i hope i was not rude forcing this thread up :)

The problem i have is related to the audio board. The audio board is powered by the isolation transformer (the main PCB is, instead, juiced with an external switching) and i am trying to figure out what voltage should it be powered by. Asking for a pinout is out of my expectations: i know that there are not out there, unfortunately :( :)

audio amplifier components are powered by 12 volts, unless it's like another of Sega's weird gimmicks where they power the sound amp by a separate transformer too, lol.
