Title: CHAMII power supply Post by: hotrod777 on December 01, 2009, 07:00:34 PM Hello everyone. I haven't been arond here for a long time, (bought a house), but I'm finally getting some hobby time in. I got a CHAMII+ up and running in a slant top S+. The power supply got damaged in the move, (physical damage) so rIght now I'm using an old pc power supply for the +12vdc. I works fine, but don't want to shoe-horn that big of a box into the machine.
How much current it needed to run my set-up? I have a few 500mA wall warts laying around, is that enough? Btw, it is a stand alone setup, 1 display behind the top glass... Maybe a 5x32 cell... About 3"x18" Thanks, Blake Title: Re: CHAMII power supply Post by: jay on December 01, 2009, 07:14:50 PM I am not sure I am going to be much help but the Mikohn power supplies are rated at 8amps.
I am sure the board and small display don't draw anywhere near that amount of power. You might be able to rent a current meter from home depot (these clamp around the power conductors and show the draw).

I always thought the psupplies seemed to be way overkill, I just figured it was for anything from a standalone up to a huge megabucks marque.
I just noticed April has a bunch listed on eBay for $15+shipping. For $21 it's probably worth doing that right way instead of guessing. However, if anyone knows for sure what mA will work, please let me know. Thanks Title: Re: CHAMII power supply Post by: jay on December 01, 2009, 08:33:25 PM Since you have the harness for the Mikohn - April would be a good bet.
I bought some stuff from her a while back and she was out of the harnesses. Title: Re: CHAMII power supply Post by: stayouttadabunker on December 01, 2009, 10:31:52 PM johntoomanynumbers has a craploada Mikohn harnesses out on fleabay at the moment! :89-
