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.
