Arcade Otaku - アーケード オタク

Hi all,

After 5 years or so on these forums and many Naomis later, I finally got a proper Candy Cab AWSD And I am chuffed. First Tri Synch too.
Problem is seller forgot to send step Down with it. ggrrrrrr I have yet to see this powered up and must connect back on CP.

I know AWSD PSU is meant to be crap and will only accept 100V, unlike other cabs which allow a variance 100-115.
I have load Naomis I read on here you can swap in Naomi PSU even.

But maybe good news, looking closer it appears maybe their is non standard PSU in this? Shows 110V +-15%?
So would I be safe with a 110 or 115V Stepdown?

Appreciate any help. Thanks guys, Kevin

kernow... u beauty... Not the first nor the last time you helped me

Phew thats first good news I good as Naomi Cab was dead on arrival that I got too... Monitor gone.

Now just need to figure out if this 115v Stepdown I have for Panasonic Q can handle that 140W on AWSD,
if not I can at least get 110V now in local maplins or airlink from the UK.

Once its up and running, off I go to franco, spectre and others for extras like marquee print, and E2/E3 2P panels
I missed Otaku, took year off arcade, finally doing arcade Room in March!

In a DC circuit, 1 VA is the equivalent of one watt (1 W). The power, P (in watts) in a DC circuit is equal to the product of the voltage V (in volt s) and the current I (in ampere s):

If V and A are in phase (pure resistive load), then VA = Watts.
80 VA = 80 Watts
or 0.6 * 80 = 48W at minimum.

Well Thats answers that, off to Maplin I go

Yeah, you'll melt that. You don't need more than 200VA but last time I looked the 300VA was only a fiver more from maplin.

Great ill get a Maplin tomorrow and do a Gets post soon.

One last question as its says 110v/220v +-15%.

Would this mean no need for Step down at all by any chance?
All I might need adapter. From JPN to UK plug as supports 220V.

The Jamma PSU can do without, the monitor can't though.

Been out of country and waiting on JNX and Pandora4 but finally got cab up and running this week.
That Maplin Transformer worked a charm, thanks god someone had switchout out the standard PSU in AWSD so it wasnt limited to exactly 100V.
Just wanted to say thanks to lads here for that assist earlier. appreciated.
