Rejumpering the transformer for low line voltage (105 V tap)
Steps
- Only do this if the outlet measures 112 V AC or less on a 120 V supply and the game resets; above that it overstresses the regulators and possibly the transformer. A wrong jumper can damage the game.
- Unplug the game. You need a .093" round Molex pin extractor.
- At the transformer plug, move the jumper from pins 8 and 9 to pins 5 and 6 (pre-DCS games).
- On WPC-S and later the low-line arrangement is pins 1-11, 2-3, 4-10 and pin 5 to 6.
Line voltage is present in the cabinet and backbox with the game on; keep hands clear of the transformer and power wiring.
