Like the blast and E2,
I think the audio amps are built into them.
If they did fail tho you could put in a 220v jamma psu but you'd still need to supply the monitor/marquee light with 110v
100v true Japanese voltage Airlink transformers FTW

Hah
Why wouldn't your marquee work? It's Japanese so it's designed to run off 100v. Both my marquees work...
Didn't cost 200 euro by the way, more like 100 if I remember correctly. 500w dual output

About 19 euro in the difference between arcadeworlduk and akibashop. So if you're in a hurry it's not so bad as I get stuff next day from arcadeworlduk, but there is a saving if you don't mind waiting on the delivery from Japan
I'd be tempted to test that €19 theory out if I had more time.
Arcadeworlduk
JLF-TP-8S-SK = £25.80 = €32 approx.
OBSF-24 = £1.92 = €2.4 approx.
Akihabarashop
JLF-TP-8S-SK = 2695Y = €20 approx.
OBSF-24 = 179Y = €1.3 approx.
That's just one stick and one button and already a saving of over a tenner.

I could be wrong on the price difference, I just did a quick comparison :0)
Anyway, I don't like to wait so if arcadeworlduk have what I need and it's not insane money I'll probably go for that with next day delivery.0 -

Yeah that's the only drawback, longer delivery time. Which can be annoying if you've no patience like me! Currently F5-ing my Parcel Motel page every hour or so waiting for some items to appear.

Also do you know japan uses 100v 50hertz in the east and 60hertz in the west?
Some electric companies original bought their generators from the Yanks and others got theirs from Europe way back when.. hence the two standards.
Think everything is running at 60Hz now though ?0 -

Oh yeah!
That was to do with the mains electricity in the old house I was renting and nothing to do with my setup. The Last Bandit stuck a multimeter into a socket to confirm
All works grand in the new gaff!0 -
Picked up this bit of modding loveliness from The Last Bandit this evening.
Some of my PCBs have no freeplay option, so you need to press the service button to insert a credit.
Not any more!
The coin up function is now wired to a little switch - which sits in and around the coin mechs.
Took me a little while to figure it out as I was thinking in the wrong way. I was trying to get the coin return buttons to depress and press the switches directly.
Then I realized I should use the actual coin return mechs to press the button instead.
On the Pony when you press the coin return button down, it presses a piece of steel that's hinged to something inside the cab. Was just able to put the switch under that piece of steel and it works great.
Chunk of bluetac had to suffice for the moment, will get some sugru.
The SNK one was a little more difficult. I found a spot where when you press the return button it presses down a lever and then pushes a part of the coin mech out.
Bit of brown tape later;

That's pretty cool, always interesting to see modifications folks can do with their cabs (the decent kind of mod!). But I have a question, why not use coins to coin up? No Yen, mechs not working, too lazy?
FrancoB - once you see his name being mentioned you know it's quality work.0 -
I used to use coins to coin up and although it's novel, I found it annoying to be honest. Whenever I've people around playing games they'd be flying through the coins and I'd have to keep emptying the bucket.
Easier just to tell them to press the coin return button and that's the end of it! 0 -

Yeah that's true, much more convenient with friends around. Coins are handy for practicing though.0 -
