I tested the transformer on the bowler and found out it was putting out. It's supposed to have a common, 2 50v taps and a 6v tap. I obtained a replacement from the person who originally sold me the bowler. He was nice enough to let me cut it off a machine he was parting out. I tested the new transformer in my house (since it's warmer there!) and everything was fine. I went outside to the bowler and labeled the existing wires, cut them and unbolted the transformer.
After putting the new transformer on and soldering everything back into place, I powered up. Unfortunately nothing happened! The replacement transformer wasn't putting out either. I pulled out a multi-meter and did some testing. I finally discovered that the transformer wasn't receiving AC input. I had previously tested a 2 prong outlet next to the transformer and it tested OK at 110vac. I made the assumption that this meant that the transformer was also receiving 110vac. The wiring looked sound so I had no reason to suspect otherwise. |
