Ms. Pac-Man Transformer Testing 

Dude, I can't thank you enough for this vid! Excellent step by step breakdown, fantastic. I was having the same issue, voltages good going into the transformer, squat on the output. Desoldered, cleaned all lugs, trimmed and tinned all connections and bam! Solid. Much appreciated.

Great job explaining and demonstrating how to test a power transformer properly.

Great video, thanks for sharing! It’s pretty rare for transformers to go bad unless there’s been some sort of physical damage or major electrical event of some sort. Still a nice tutorial on how to test it. Thank you!

Great video. I watch a lot of arcade repair videos and your viedo was one of only a few that I actually learned something new. Keep it up.

I agree, this is a really great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!!

Thanks for explaining this video. I have two dead Pac-Man’s and one dead Ms. Pac-Man. Maybe I’ll finally get one of them working again with your help!

I picked up a ms pac man that didn't respond. Figured the transformers where bad but tried out your trick and tested them and they where perfect. Tossed them back in and the game starts up. No screen yet but thank you sir

Super informative. Thanks!

Hey @jacklick I know this vid is old, but I left a bunch of spare Ms. Pac power blocks and harnesses at Troy's arcade when I was there. You are welcome to grab what you need.

Quick question...I'm trying to unhack the wiring of a Ms. Pac. Man with very little reference, and I just have a question regarding the wires running to the interlock switch and power switch. There should be two sets, one blue and one brown, correct? Do both sets run to the interconnect, then one set runs to the power switch? Thank you!

So what do you think the cause was? Transformer lugs needing reflow, fuse holder, ?

On the high side of the transformer what kind of voltage do you get between ground and zero? I would expect none or very little but I'm getting 70 volts.

I have a ms Pacman. Can the power supply and transformer be purchased new? Just like the original style

Sure in arcade monitors are very sensitive to switching power supplies do you know which arcade games are very sensitive to switching power supplies because some of them I've heard that causes display anomalies and display errors by the characters I'm not sure why a switching power supply will emit the the clicking and the switching frequency which gets radiated and get induced into the arcade monitors but not all arcade games are sensitive to this only a certain arcade games are so you have to only use one linear power supply

Hello. Where can I find Ms. Pac-Man cocktail arcade parts?

Does all them ms pac man cabinets have the extra games?

A+ if a bunch of the shots didn't have your hand in the way
