Hot Glue Step-up Transformer

 

This seems like déjà vu....

I bought a step-up / step-down 120V - 240V transformer off Scamazon for a upcoming repair project.

The make "LiteFuze" should have been enough warning...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Curious about how well it was assembled I decided to open it up.

Inside was a nightmare of hot glue and questionable parts. I didn't trust any of the components except for the actual transformer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I ended up gutting the thing and just keeping the transformer and wiring it inside the game with a proper line fuse, fuse clip and obligatory old school hustler terminals.

 

 

 

Ramune

 

Ramune is a traditional Japanese carbonated soft drink served in a Codd-neck bottle.

I found out there's a Japanese store nearby that sells 'em.

Bought a few and actually drank one in the hopes of simulating the dagashiya vibes (traditional Japanese candy store that typically also has coin operated skill games).

Opening the bottle is kinda fun and a bit messy. The actual drink was OK... too sweet for my tastes.
