Egret 2 Power Supply Question

AKRATEN · Post by **AKRATEN** » Sun Jun 21, 2009 6:01 pm

hay there
I recently did a voltage test on my 2 egret II cabs and both of them on the 12v side are putting out 14.7 volts,
the 5v is dead on 5V
my atomiswave cab is 5v 12v

I may order 2 new power supplies , can someone with a egret let me know if there power is 12v ?
both mine are exactly 14.7

its weird, and kinda alarming.

Can't you just adjust the 12v down?

there is no 12v adjustment just a 5 volt knob.

Yikes, 14.7v on the 12v line? Damn, dude...yes, order some replacement arcade power supplies right away, AKRATEN. You don't want to risk your precious and valuable arcade PCBs going up in smoke over serious increased voltage issues. ^_~

Are your Egret II's arcade PSUs inside the original Taito PSU ones or are they another 3rd-party manufactured ones instead by the likes of Wei-Ya or Sanwa Denshi?

these are original taito psu in the cabs,
I ordered 2 new psu's.

i was really surprised when i check and it was running 14 volts.

the cabs will be up to spec very soon

thanks guys

Where did you get those from and for how much? might be useful for other people. do taitotech even stock them anymore?

Ahh you bought unofficial ones, sorry. I thought you bought original E2 ones
