Yes if we had a transformer out of a UK market EM. This one had the US only transformer fitted. We are hoping to find a UK spec transformer for it though.

Interesting stuff, I see a different Export 50Hz Score Motor (E-119-460) is specified too for Capt Fantastic. Bally must have changed this at some point cos in '63 'new' universal transformer and motor was introduced.

Apparently, the main problem is when 50Hz motors are re-imported to the US running at 60Hz, it turns too fast and can cause timing issues, score reels not keeping up etc.

All that aside, the important thing is you have it playing for people to enjoy, you're doing great things at the Electric Circus I hope to visit and support one day
